Permissions Issues
A routine look in the logs shows me a steady warn in the logs.
It's probably harmless - but I would like to solve it for tidiness:
Thu Jun 18 16:45:21 2009 [12663] warn: config: created user preferences
file: /var/lib/spamassassin/.spamassassin/user_prefs
Tue Jun 23 16:58:42 2009 [13778] warn: config: cannot write

I'm slightly confused as I see this;
/var/lib/spamassassin/.spamassassin/user_prefs created,
but then SA seems to be trying to write to /root/.spamassasin/...
Probably my configuration - any pointers ?

check configs for awl path, and unset them, when its not set in user_prefs
you get permissions errors when not run as root, and not have it local to
the user trying
perldoc Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf
perldoc Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::AWL
tell more about what os, user you try test with
awl path must be local to each user not global for all users when sql is
not used
