[Dovecot] Help with acl_shared_dict

[Marcio Merlone]

Hi all,

I am trying to set up shared folders with dovecot 1.2.10-0xk1 on a 
ubuntu 8.04 server and so far so good. I managed to share a folder using 
GOSa GUI, but I cannot list it on Thunderbird yet, because of 
acl_shared_dict param (I guess).

I tried BDB as per the wiki:

plugin {
   acl_shared_dict = file:/var/lib/dovecot/shared-mailboxes.db
}

I gave shared-mailboxes.db 0666 perms but it keeps resetting permissions 
to 0600, which gives me "open(/var/lib/dovecot/shared-mailboxes.db) 
failed: Permission denied" errors. So I went to try sql dict, but could 
not find where to put sql server connection details like user, host, 
password.

dovecot -n (with sql dict):

Have I missed something? Thanks and best regards.
