Look this:
root 29723 1 0 Jun04 ? 00:00:13 /usr/sbin/dovecot
root 29724 29723 0 Jun04 ? 00:00:03 dovecot-auth
dovecot 25239 29723 0 Jun05 ? 00:00:00 managesieve-login
dovecot 19097 29723 0 Jun06 ? 00:00:00 managesieve-login
dovecot 19114 29723 0 Jun06 ? 00:00:00 managesieve-login
dovecot 17952 29723 0 09:14 ? 00:00:00 pop3-login
dovecot 18130 29723 0 09:16 ? 00:00:00 imap-login
dovecot 18252 29723 0 09:17 ? 00:00:00 imap-login
dovecot 18317 29723 0 09:18 ? 00:00:00 pop3-login
dovecot 18438 29723 0 09:19 ? 00:00:00 pop3-login
dovecot 18495 29723 0 09:19 ? 00:00:00 imap-login
root is the user that executed /usr/sbin/dovecot
dovecot is the user "login_user" in dovecot.conf
and "user" in dovecot.conf
....
auth default:
user: santhosh
passdb:
driver: passwd-file
args: /etc/passwd.dovecot
userdb:
driver: passwd
....
in your case "santhosh", is the user to access to /etc/passwd.dovecot
and /etc/passwd files
but if the passwords are shadows, the user to access a /etc/shadow must
be ROOT.
