Hi Petr,

If you're up for experimentation, try my "group bogo" technique, i.e.
add a "bogo" group, set GID for bogofilter, bogoutil, and your
bogofilter directory (and its files), i.e.

   BOGOFILTER_DIR="/path/to/your/wordlist/"
   groupadd bogo
   chgrp bogo bogofilter bogoutil $BOGOFILTER_DIR $BOGOFILTER_DIR/*
   chmod g+s  bogofilter bogoutil $BOGOFILTER_DIR

Let us know if it works for you!

Thanks.

David
