Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions, both on and offlist.
Unfortunately nothing seems to work so I suppose I will just resort to
starting spamd in another way until I find the answer. I realize this
wasn't a SA problem per se, but I appreciate the time and efforts to help.
Cheers,
Glen

Hi,
Hopefully someone can give me some advice here. I've been fighting
with SpamD for the last two days trying to get it to connect to a
MySQL database. I think I've finally weeded out all of my "own"
errors and am down to this:
I'm running SA 3.1 on a Fedora 5 setup and MySQL is running on another
machine. If I start SpamD via the init.d script, it fails to connect
to the database. It really doesn't give much more info than that but
it does show enough info to prove to me that it is reading the config
files and at least providing correct login information.
If I start spamd from the command line (and demonize it) it connects
fine.
I'm using identical tests... starting as root, using the same test
mail, same email user, same database user, the only difference (that I
am aware) is the fact that one starts from init.d and the other from
the command line. I realize there are, of course, some "extra" things
in the init.d script, but to my untrained eye, I can't see anything
that should affect it. Can anyone help shed any light on what I might
try next? The command I am using to start SpamD is this:
spamd -d -A 192.,127. -i -l -x -q -m 2
I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions.
Glen
