RE: [AMaViS-user] Net::Server preventing amavisd reload

running truss I found at least two reasons of this behaviour:

....
27172:  open("/var/run/syslog_door", O_RDONLY)          Err#13 EACCES
....
27172:  execve("/usr/local/sbin/amavisd", 0x00D12E30, 0x0011E180) Err#13
EACCES
....

even if HUPped process is:

avscan 26974     1  0 22:43:26 ?        0:00 /usr/bin/perl -T
/usr/local/sbin/amavisd

# ls -l /usr/local/sbin/amavisd
-rwxr-x---   1 avscan   avscan    422587 Feb 17 21:30
/usr/local/sbin/amavisd

more reasons can be found on amavisd-new Web page (Tips and FAQ -- general).

yes, I think it is not pleasant. but: what a wonderful piece of software
amavisd-new really is :-)
