Hello all.

Just one quick stupid question. ;-(
Im try to configure Exim + Dovecot 1.1.1 on FreeBSD 7.0

Then im try to send mail in logs im see this:
deliver(admin at domain.off): Jul 02 13:52:22 Error: Can't connect to auth 
server at /var/run/dovecot/auth-master: No such file or directory

%ls -al /var/run/dovecot/*
srw-rw----  1 exim wheel /var/run/dovecot/auth-client
srw-------  1 dovecot-auth  wheel /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
srw-------  1 dovecot-auth  dovecot-auth /var/run/dovecot/auth-worker.6512
srwxrwxrwx  1 root wheel /var/run/dovecot/dict-server
-rw-------  1 root wheel /var/run/dovecot/master.pid

As im can understand im confused at Dovecot permission system.
Please tell me what im must fix.
