I keep getting this set of messages:

I am using one Bayes database server wide. Currently I have
removed the DROPPRIVS=yes line from the procmailrc
configuration, because I thought it was inappropriate to
this context. That is, I thought that I should maintain
the user as root. (However, I also had Bayes problems when
DROPPRIVS was set - I had removed it partly to try to
rectify those)

bayes_journal was set to 600 - I have changed it to 700

bayes_toks and bayes_seen are currently set to 777, as is
the .root/spamassassin directory.  I think these settings
are overbroad, but I'm having a lot of problems with getting
permissions set properly to run programs on the VPS2. It was
quite a struggle to get the program to even use Bayes; now
I've got it reading Bayes but not writing to it.

Help???
