Hi, I'm using Centos 4.4 with: mimedefang.org + spamassassin.org Mimedefang(MD) is a perl program that calls SpamAssassin(SA) perl module. The problem I'm getting is that from update 4.4, SA does not seems to find the $HOME variable only when it is called during system boot. If you later login as root and run: $ service mimedefang restart then SA does indeed find the $HOME variable
HOME is defined by your shell. Its not specified that it should be set by init, and it appears its isn't. I've never used mimedefang so I don't know the context of its use of the HOME environment variable, such that I could suggest a solution to your problem. I will say that in the past I have made the script that is to be ran in that environment give HOME a default of some sort so if/when it was ran out of init it would still function properly (BTW, its likely you would see this in cron too).
