hi mark,
Is the dovecot daemon running as root? I would assume this is why it would make the log root:testuser.
yes, it's running as root.
i'd _thought_ one can run dovecot as another user.
i've exec'd it as 'testuser', but have all sorts of _other_ perms problems then ...
i'd guess this would be ideal ... and, arguably made sense to me to run both exim and dovecot as the same user. but am, atm, not at all certain what issues/problems arise from this.
Instead of changing the perms you could chown the log to be testuser:testuser -
yup.
but this would be changed back to root if you have any logrotate setup
which i do.
thx,
richard
