okay, I try this also with other users (root, nobody, ...), the same result :-)

I see logs like this:

setacl:

fchown(/var/lib/dovecot/acl_dict.lock, -1, 0) failed: Operation not permitted

getacl (after setacl from other user):

open(/var/lib/dovecot/acl_dict) failed: Permission denied

and don't know is this a bug or a feature:

- file:/var/lib/dovecot/acl_dict only with virtual users (same uid for all)
- with real users and distinct uid use sqlite, mysql .... ( I hope also db in the
  future :-))
