directory permission error

[Jean-Paul Natola]

Hi everyone, 

I'm not sure if I should ask on this list- because the issue is  related to
SA- but since its in error in a directory I thought maybe it would apply-

I'm trying to get SA to use the directory,
/var/spool/spamd/spamassassin for its temp files-

So I added the this to my rc.conf

spamd_flags="-c -u spamd -H /var/spool/spamd/spamassassin"

but I keep seeing this error in my log

spamd[39465]: bayes: locker: safe_lock: cannot create tmp lockfile
/var/spool/spamd/spamassassin/bayes.lock.milter.fci.39465 for
/var/spool/spamd/spamassassin/bayes.lock: Permission denied

do I need to add the spamd user to another group, or do I need to change the
permissions on the directory?

Or am I way off here ?


Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you
