OK, that doesn't work... I changed from:
        SPAMDOPTIONS="-d -c -a -m5 -H "
to:
        SPAMDOPTIONS="-d -c -a -m5 -H -u root"

and now spamd won't start.

The line in the spamd init.d script that actually calls it is:
daemon spamd $SPAMDOPTIONS

and that is directly from the
Mail-SpamAssassin-2.60/spamd/redhat-rc-script.sh  file.

But the spamd script IS being run as root. I would think that would
start it using root, but... I get the following messages in syslog when
I run without "-u root":

Oct 13 21:25:38 Dingo spamc[5345]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at
127.0.0.1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection refused

Any ideas?

Thanks!
