[Dovecot] "doveadm mailbox create" oddities

7 Oct 2010

      Hi to all!
I’m trying to understand the usage of "doveadm mailbox create”.
If I do, as root:
# doveadm mailbox create -u __public__ sys/test

doveadm(__public__): Error: Can't create mailbox sys/test: Permission denied
but if I do:
# doveadm mailbox create -u __public__ test
every thing is OK.
“sys" is a shared maildir folder, that is visible in the client as "#Public/sys”.
__public__ is the user that owns Public folders, here is the complete details:
userdb: __public__
uid       : 10002
gid       : 8
home      : /var/mail/domainname/__public__
mail      : maildir:~/maildir:INBOX=~/maildir/INBOX:LAYOUT=fs:INDEX=~/indexes/
Do I have to add root with proper permissions to ACL?
TIA
Andre
