Problem with Bayes.. SA 2.63

[Robert Leonard <RL...@Opto22.com>]

For some reason my SA installation has stopped using BAYES.. I'm not a linux
person, but I'm trying to learn.. So the problem here may be something
obvious to the rest of you.. The thing is that Bayes worked great for
probably a year now.. It's only recently that I've noticed it missing in my
SA results..

I have the /bayes directory set to 777, and within it I have _seen and _toks
set to 600.. 
_seen is owned by nobody and the group is nobody
_toks is owned by root and group is root

I see the problem appears to be one of permissions, but I don't know what
permission and where to look to fix it.  

Thanks all!
 
Here is the errror I see in the maillog:
Aug 11 08:29:15 Spamkiller spamd[7227]: Cannot open bayes databases

Are you forcing a global bayes_path in your local.cf?

If so, you must force bayes_file_mode to 777 in your local.cf as well...

If not, is "nobody" set to have the same home directory as root? Why?
