Hi guys,
My maillog complain like this:
Jul 25 09:40:06 MAIL spamd[67623]: spamd: still running as root: user
not specified with -u, not found, or set to root, falling back to nobody
Jul 25 09:40:13 MAIL spamd[67623]: auto-whitelist: open of
auto-whitelist file failed: locker: safe_lock: cannot create tmp
lockfile /nonexistent/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist.lock.MAIL.67623 for
/nonexistent/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist.lock: No such file or directory
I google it and found out that i need to run spamd with '-u <user>' flag.
From BSD guide website spamd has a flag of '-u qscand'. However,
there is no detail on how the qscand user has been created.
How to create a user for spamd correctly or securely?
man (8) pw
pw useradd qscand -s /sbin/nologin

If it isn't already obvious,
my opinions are my own and not
those of my employer.
