Bug Description
Binary package hint: dspam
/usr/bin/dspamc file permissions should be the same as for /usr/bin/dspam (owned by dspam:dspam, setgid bit set) otherwise calling it as non-root causes it to complain it cannot read /etc/dspam/

IMHO this should be decided in Debian (or by somebody really into this).
I'm not using dspam/dspamc myself, but setuid/setgid programs should be kept to a minimum.
While researching this, I've found a patch for this from dspam-users (http:// mailing- list.nuclearele phant.com/ 0658.html) and another one for a --config option, which would allow to use another config file instead (http:// osdir.com/ ml/mail. spam.dspam. devel/2006- 05/msg00026. html).
Is dspamc as shipped in Debian/Ubuntu not usable at all currently? Or only for user root?
