I have SA 2.50 installed.  Where is the Bayes database?  I have been
receiving plenty of e-mails, and I would imagine a database should have
already been created.  Yes, I only see databases for the users which I
manually ran sa-learn for.  I ran it for myself and the root user.  For some
reason I thought root would have been the system wide user.  But, then I
thought more about it today and figured it was the defang user.  I installed
SA 2.50 on Friday.  I have received plenty of e-mails since that time.
