Bayes Rebuild confirmation?

[Stephe Campbell]

I am running 4.29.7-1 on a RH 7.3 Sendmail box. After following most of the
Bayes rebuilding threads, I find I am confused by my log files and files in
my bayes directory. Can someone confirm this is proper and that bayes
rebuilding is functional in this release?

I have in my MS.conf file the following two options
Rebuild Bayes Every = 86400
Wait During Bayes Rebuild = yes

and in spam.assassin.prefs.conf
bayes_auto_expire 0

Are the bayes_toks.expire files below normal? They seem a little old to me.
Are they related to rebuild or normal updating of bayes? What causes them to
remain behind?
