This isn't -master socket, so the path is a bit misleading.

And either set mode = 0666 or add a line with "user = postfix".

dovecot: Dec 31 17:04:32 Error: child 3536 (auth) returned error 89 dovecot: Dec 31 17:25:34 Error: Auth process died too early - shutting down dovecot: Dec 31 17:25:34 Error: auth(default_with_listener): Unknown userdb driver 'pam' (typo, or Dovecot was built without support for it? Check with dovecot --build-options)

Before modifying the setup for this auth function, pam authentication was working fine.

PAM is only a "passdb", not an "userdb". So I'd think you wanted to set passdb pam, userdb passwd (or whatever, since postfix doesn't use it at all).
