[Dovecot] Something weird happening...

[Claudio Prono]

Very strange, i have tryied to chmod 666 all log files, like that:

-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root  681 Oct  8 11:08 dovecot-err.log
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1039 Oct  8 11:02 dovecot-inf.log

(Is terrible i know, but only a test)

Now i have another error (written in log of dovecot!)

deliver(mediatest at atpss.net): Oct 08 11:08:20 Error: Can't connect to
auth server at /var/run/dovecot/auth-master: Permission denied

Seems all a problem of user running dovecot...is not root? Dunno why...
In config there isn't nothing to do so.

Any suggestion?

Thank you,

Claudio.
