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 drwxrwxrwx 2 nobody nobody 1024 May 19 06:07 . drwxrwxr-x 6 root root 2048 May 19 09:13 ..
