you're putting in the config file. Check the journal, check for selinux
errors, etc. Given that it works when run as root, that would indicate a
permission or an selinux issue. I just checked the selinux rules for it
and it's only allowed to read files in /var/lib and /home, so where did you
put the dict files you were adding?
Hi Samuel, you nailed it! I moved the dictionary files to /var/lib/dict/
and now everything works...thanks and also thanks everyone else for the
help.
BTW, I just found this man page if anyone wants to know the ins and outs of
dictd and selinux:
