3 spamc questions, version 3.2

I just switched from using spamassassin to spamc in our procmail.
*   is there an equivalent of 'spamassassin -d' for spamc?
*   spamd is running with  
	'-d -H -s /usr/temp/spamd.log -u esp -r /var/run/spamd.pid' .
     spamc is running with '-u esp' , which is a normal account.
 Yet in the log, I am getting the following error/warning messages:
Wed May  9 14:12:17 2007 [12597] info: spamd: setuid to esp succeeded
Wed May  9 14:22:19 2007 [12597] info: spamd: processing message 
<6....@nnn.abc.com> for esp:520
Wed May  9 14:12:19 2007 [12597] warn: auto-whitelist: open of auto-
whitelist file failed: locker: safe_lock: cannot create tmp lockfile 
/home/esp/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist.lock.nnn.abc.com.12597 for 
/home/esp/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist.lock: Permission denied
*   How can I control the verbosity of the logging?

thanks,

You can also control what debugging is to be performed by specifying what 
channels you want to see:

Yes, that was it. The .spamassassin was created prior to the user being assigned to 
spamd and spamc as the user to use.
Thanks!

spamc doesn't have the equivalent to spamassassin's -d.  spamc doesn't 
markup (or remove markup) from mail.  Continue to use spamassassin -d 
where you were before.

If I had to guess I'd say that the non-root user doesn't have rights to 
the ".spamassassin file", which is actually a directory, or at least 
should be.  Check your filesystem permissions.

NO, I really mean -d .

no one has ideas why the SA3.2 is complaining about having rights to the 
.spamassassin file when the same non-root user is being used for spamd 
and spamc ?

Do you really mean "spamassassin -D"? -d does markup stripping, -D does
debugging.

If so, you can pass -D to spamd, but you'd have to debug everything
spamd processes. There is no direct equivalent on spamc, as spamc itself
doesn't run any of the rules, it's just a dumb client.
