Hi I've just upgraded to spamd 3.02. after changing the options in '/etc/conf.d/spamd' (-m 5 -c -H -u clamav) I've started spamd. although it starts (ps -ef shows it) it can't write '/var/run/spamd.pid', and it can't be stopped with '/etc/init.d/spamd'. I fixed it by changing the pid file to '/var/run/spamd/spamd.pid' but I don't know why it doesn't work. it worked in 2.6.x with the same user and permissions of '/var/run'. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. specify non-root user in the start options (/etc/conf.d/spamd) 2. start spamd 3. check logs Actual Results: although spamd starts, it can't write '/var/run/spamd.pid'. Expected Results: write '/var/run/spamd.pid' :) Portage 2.0.51-r3 (default-linux/x86/2004.3, gcc-3.3.4, glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1, 2.6.9-gentoo-r9 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.9-gentoo-r9 i686 Pentium II (Deschutes) Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r5 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 Binutils: sys-devel/binutils-2.15.90.0.1.1-r3 Headers: sys-kernel/linux26-headers-2.6.8.1-r1 Libtools: sys-devel/libtool-1.5.2-r7 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i386-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control /var/vpopmail/domains /var/vpopmail/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.hamakor.org.il/pub/mirrors/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.linux.ee/pub/gentoo/distfiles/ http://195.56.77.10/ http://194.149.10.102/ ftp://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j1" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 acl apache2 apm arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts crypt cups encode foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gtk gtk2 innodb ipv6 jpeg kde libwww mad mikmod motif mpeg mysql ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png python quicktime readline sdl slang spamassassin spell ssl svga tcpd tiff truetype xml2 xmms xv zlib"
