I recently posted about problems I've been having with dovecot-shared and umask in RC15 (using Solaris 9). I've now been able to distill what I'm experiencing into these two separate points:
dovecot-uidlist and message files never inherit the dovecot-shared group
With umask=0007 these files are created with mode 600 instead of 660: dovecot-uidlist, dovecot.index, dovecot.index.log, messages files (cur,tmp,new and the parent directory *are* created 770)
(With regard to #1, I originally posted that individual message files were also not inheriting *permissions* from dovecot-shared, but that turned out to be a case of copying a message with maildir_copy_with_hardlinks = yes.)
I can duplicate this consistently; can anyone else? Or has this been fixed in RC16/17?
Thanks, Glenn
