dovecot-1.2.8 creates /var/run/dovecot mode 750.
I run postfix+dovecot in a virtual user setup. Postfix calls deliver
as user vmail group vmail.
Nov 29 12:53:04 imap.invalid dovecot: [ID 583609 mail.error]
deliver(frank): userdb lookup: connect(/var/run/dovecot/auth-master)
failed: Permission denied (euid=500(vmail) egid=500(vmail) missing +x perm:
/var/run/dovecot)
I will say this: dovecot's error reporting in general is head and shoulders
above the norm. Makes tracking down problems sooo much easier.
Something else I noticed, should the dict-server socket really be mode 777?
At least a-x I would think.
