           Summary: spamd gets error: setrgid() not implemented when run as
                    root with -u nobody on MacOS
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Mac OS X
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P5
         Component: spamc/spamd
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Steps to reproduce: On MacOS X run spamd as root with -u nobody, e.g.,

  sudo --virtual-config-dir=somepath -u nobody

The resulting log output includes the error message setgrid() not implemented

Note that using  different user name for -u, spamd is able to setrgid() without
error.

Analysis: see bug 5510 comment 9 through bug 5510 comment 13 for more details.
Like bug 5510, this problen would make it impossible to install SpamAssassin
from CPAN on MacOS X in the common case that CPAN is run as root.
