Subject: [gentoo-user] spamd and user nobody, sa-learn
Date: Sat, 5 Mar 2011 10:28:30 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110305092830.GA25522@solfire> (raw)

Hi,

currently I am unsure, whether it is possible to update the
bayes-database of spamd/spamassassin as user mccramer while
spamd/spamassassin is running under user nobody:nobody AND
assign the database rw-rights for nobody:nobody only.

Nobody has neither the right to login nor a home directory.

I tried 
    
    sudo -u nobody sa-learn --spam --dbpath /etc/mail/nobody/.spamassassin/ --dir .

as user mccramer but it complains with:
"Sorry, user mccramer is not allowed to execute '/usr/bin/sa-learn --spam --dbpath /etc/mail/nobody/.spamassassin/ --dir .' as nobody:nobody on solfire."

/etc/sudoers is set to allow this for mccramer.

What is the trick to accomplish what is wanted here ?


Thank you very much in advance for any help!
Best regards,
mcc
