$ ls -l /var/run/dovecot/auth-client Srw------- 1 root root 0 Mar 14 13:11 /var/run/dovecot/auth-client .. The problem is either with the instructions on the wiki or within dovecot. I will look at the source code to see if I can identify why
the permissions in conf.d/10-master.conf are not being applied. The
"service auth" part of conf.d/10-master.conf, stripped of comments, is:service auth { unix_listener auth-client { mode = 0660 user = mail } unix_listener auth-userdb { } }
Check with doveconf that Dovecot really sees those settings:
doveconf service/auth
Problem was all mine! I didn't fully appreciate the configuration process
and managed to end up with a dovecot.conf which didn't include the files
from conf.d ...
My apologies for the time wasting.
