That must be a packager addition. If you mean the script in the debian subdirectory, as it says in the docs there, it is supposed to be run as root. That subdirectory is something of a historical artifact, as no one from Debian has seen fit to submit any changes for it in many years. > so I have to set the proper permissions for my user 'spamd' on the > '/var/lib/spamassassin' by hand if I want to use the cron job to run > sa-update ? That is one option. The more common approach is to run the sa-update cron job as root. For extra safety, you could also run sa-update from an unprivileged cron job into some other directory (using an --updatedir=/path/ option) and validate the update before installing it into /var/lib/spamassassin. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
