This problem occurs with spamassassin-3.1.8-1.fc6. It did not occur with my previous version of spamassassin (which I think was 3.1.7something). I would be willing to try to isolate this problem further, but I'm not sure what to do as I don't understand what could possibly keep spamassassin from writing to /tmp. I have already cleared /tmp and done a fixfiles /tmp and rebooted, but the problem still occurs. spoo:~$ ls -al /tmp total 72 drwxrwxrwt 8 root root 4096 Feb 17 09:33 . drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4096 Feb 17 09:08 .. drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 Feb 17 09:07 .ICE-unix -r--r--r-- 1 root jbayes 11 Feb 17 09:09 .X0-lock drwxrwxrwt 2 root jbayes 4096 Feb 17 09:09 .X11-unix drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 Feb 17 09:08 .font-unix drwx------ 2 jbayes jbayes 4096 Feb 17 09:12 flashgot.default.ger drwx------ 3 jbayes jbayes 4096 Feb 17 09:12 gconfd-jbayes drwx------ 2 jbayes jbayes 4096 Feb 17 09:12 orbit-jbayes spoo:~$ -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
