I am trying to set up a new web and mail server i have postfix now working
but dovecot will not allow me to login and retrieve the emails
so below isa portion of the log file
passwd-file /var/mail/vhosts/xxxx.net/shadow: stat() failed: Permission
denied
passwd-file(xxxxx at xxxx.net,::ffff:0.0.0.0): no passwd file:
/var/mail/vhosts/xxxx.net/shadow
Dovecot -n output

The passwd shadow file
-rw-r----- 1 root root 210 May 24 21:39 passwd
-rw-r----- 1 root root 327 May 24 21:39 shadow
So who whould own these files?
