Question about sa-learn return codes

[Tom Q Citizen <to...@bay-online-media.com>]

Hi!  I'm running SquirrelMail 1.4.9a on a Linux-based Apache 2.0.55/php 
4.3.11 server and I have SpamAssassin 3.1.7 installed.  I'm currently 
trying to get the SquirrelMail spam_buttons plugin working:

http://www.squirrelmail.org/plugin_view.php?id=242

and I'm running into a problem I'm wanting to troubleshoot.  I'm NOT 
posting this here for SquirrelMail support but to get a sa-learn 
question answered.

When I enable debugging in the spam_buttons plugin, I get this output:

*COMMAND USED TO REPORT:* /usr/bin/sa-learn --spam 
--configpath=/etc/spamassassin --username=user@domain.com < 
../data//sb_tmp_13069_1166402817

This is the command the plugin issues to when it tries to flag a message 
as spam.

This was followed by the message body (including headers and 
SpamAssassin headers) and then this message:

*RESULTS FROM REPORT:* (13)

Array
(
 [0] => Learned tokens from 0 message(s) (1 message(s) examined)
)

Any ideas at all as to what a return/error code of 13 means?

Thanks!

Peace...

Tom

Well, I've answered my own question.  I ran sa-learn with -D and routed 
the output to a file and discovered a permissions problem.  sa-learn was 
wanting to write files to /root/.spamassasin which it could not do since 
it was running as user "httpd".  Why does sa-learn want to write to 
/root/.spamassassin?   My text task is to find info on this and 
hopefully it's a SpamAssassin configuration issue but I would appreciate 
any tips.  :)

Peace...
