File Permissions

File permissions can drive you nutz when installing dspam. Here are a few tips.

1. Create a 'dspam' user and 'dspam' group 2. change ownership of all dspam files to be owned by dspam.dspam

chown dspam.dspam dspam_files

3. set the sticky bit (SUID) for the dspam executable (/usr/local/bin/dspam) 4. set the correct file permissions of all of the dspam files see DSpam File Permissions
