Now when I executed the same command as "you" I recieved a permissions error? Upon inspecting the Bayes DB files apparently the file bayes_toks is now owned by "me" and the permissions have been changed to 600.
What am i missing here?
What you're missing, and what's missing from the wiki is that if you do a site-wide, and SA can be called as several-userID's you need to set bayes_file_mode to 777 in your local.cf.
Since some of bayes files, particularly the journal, get deleted and recreated on a regular basis, what user owns them will varry, thus you need to set the world-read/write access.. you need 777 because the mask is sometimes used to create directories, and you'll need x on those. (The files will never be created 777, they'll be created 666. The "mode" here is really a mask, not a mode).
