[Dovecot] socket /var/spool/postfix/private/auth not created

ok. I guess that narrows it down a bit.

I'm on Ubuntu 14.10 64 bit server.

my settings and ownership for /private are

drwx------  2 postfix root       4096 May 26 09:04 private

There is nothing in the system (or devocot) logs that would indicate
why the socket isn't created.

Finally, I would expect "dovecot -n" to show some indication of this
listener, which for me it doesn't.

Thanks,

Leo
