SA-update
Hi
I have spamassassin installed on my server (linux).
Spamd is running as user "junk".
My question is: Do I run SA-update as root or as an ordinary user?
User "junk" is a nologin user with no shell, so I can not run SA-update with
user "junk".
Thanks!

According to the SA doc: then don't enable user rules.. (they are

Is there any security risks when running SA-update as root?

you only need to run SA under user that can modify rules in LOCALSTATEDIR.
Most ppl run it under root...
