Re: Systemwide Bayes ...
It actually is to a file... I was unclear in my first email. The bayes_path is: bayes_path /etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes/bayes The directory path for it is: /etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes And that's the directory I showed (showing that it has full write permissions and is owned by nobody). Inside that directory is where I expect the bayes_* files to be created. Full permissions exist on the directory, but nothing is created there. [root bayes]# pwd /etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes [root bayes]# ls -la total 3 drwxrwxrwx2 nobody nobody 1024 May 19 06:07 . drwxrwxr-x6 root root 2048 May 19 09:13 ..

No bayes path in the user_prefs file. There is a user_Prefs file, but, for the root account, it is all commented out.

If you want all users be able to write to these files you will need a 6 at the end. I ran spamassassin -D --lint and it still pulled the bayes db to be /root/.spamassassin/bayes_toks /root/ Hm, you didn't give that important information in your first posting! You just said it wouldn't populate your intended path. *That* is a completely different type of problem. If spamd and command line usage use different Bayes settings (as it seems to be the case here) then you are using different SA settings for spamassassin (command line) and spamd. If the problem happens for both then none of them is using the local.cf that you want them to use. You can easily check this by looking carefully at the beginning of the -D output. To make it even more visible insert a bloody wrong variable in that local.cf. If it really gets used (what I doubt) then you should be made aware of that in the --lint output.
