Hmm, that's a bummer! It works with this setting.

I had an uid=user setting in the LDAP config (copied from passdb, I 
guess), but no definition of system_user, because I implied this - my 
users are real users, hence, I didn't assumed that I need another setting, 
from the Wiki:

http://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase

"uid: User's UID (UNIX user ID)"

I sort of implied from this text, that uid is what Dovecot calls 
system_user, which I thought useful for virtual users only.

It just displays the groups of the process for debugging purposes.
