I just tried with chown nobody:nogroup auth-worker Now the error is gone. The question remains : what does create auth-worker ? The installer ? then I think ubuntu does it wrong.
I'm sorry for the late reply but I'm not working full time on this migration.
Unfortunately, I now experienced and remembered the fact that the /run or /var/run directories are temporary directories, i.e. they are recreated on boot. Which means that the ownership is recreated on boot and in this case set to dovecot:root. Which means dovecot can't access the "file"
sounds like a systemd distribution man tmpfiles.d
[root@srv-rhsoft:~]$ cat /etc/tmpfiles.d/dovecot.conf d /run/dovecot 0775 dovecot dovecot -
Thanks for the reply.
I don't know if Ubuntu 12.04 is systemd based. I didn't find tmpfiles.d so I looked further. In dovecot.conf I finally found :
service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-master { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } user = nobody }
Notice that user=nobody. I commented that out, now it works.
