[Dovecot] Socket permission 432/384 and dovecot.conf

19 Jan 2010


      Sorry for that question but:
when you set in dovecot.conf this for example:
socket listen {
client {
path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
mode = 0660
user = postfix
group = postfix
}
}
and you run "dovecot -n" you'll see
client:
path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
mode: 432
I'm wondering about the mode "432" - how is this value calculated?
Same for the auth/master socket socket - the value ist "384" and in
dovecot.conf it's 0600.
Thanks for any info.
Seba
