[Dovecot] Rootless installation gets ssl-parameters.dat errors

[Daniel Bretoi]

What I did was just to chmod the appropriate directories and files so  
all users could read them. I don't know if it will work properly but  
it'll be tested soon enough.

I still find it very strange that that's something that's configured  
at compile-time as opposed to run-time.
