dovecot 2.3.15 opensuse LEAP 15.4
I changed logging to use a path rather than syslog. Doing so makes it easier to work with fail2ban. Dovecot fails to start with the error: Can't open log file /data01/var/log/dovecot.log: Permission denied
Permissions: drwxrwxr-x 1 root users 104 Feb 25 2018 /data01/ drwxrwxr-x 1 sma-user3x users 102 Dec 17 14:50 /data01/var/ drwxrwxr-x 1 sma-user3x users 146 Dec 27 15:37 /data01/var/log/ drwxrwxr-x 1 dovecot users 22 Dec 27 15:47 /data01/var/log/dovecot/
"dovecot" is a member of "users".
What "permission" am I missing?
Note: A long time ago I had a problem with programs consuming all available space on the system disk with log or backup files. I have since gotten in the habit of putting log files on a non-system disk.
