Made the changes, so entries in 10-master.conf are now:
service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { #mode = 0666 #user = #group = }
# Postfix smtp-auth unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } # Auth process is run as this user. #user = $default_internal_user
}
Entries in 10-auth.conf are as follows (ass suggested by another post I found.
... auth_mechanisms = plain login ...

No matter what I try, the listener is not created.
Text does the trick as well and survives pictures in the archives ;)
# Postfix smtp-auth unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0600 user = postfix group = postfix
The wiki quoted and my running config both use 'mode = 0660'. Give that a try:
service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } user = doveauth }
You may leave out the extra doveauth user which is a specific flavor of my configuration. If that still fails, you should post some log excerpts from dovecot after a reload which probably show the problem.
