Hi..
im still trying to upgrade to 2.0. Im getting: dovecot: lda: Error: userdb lookup: connect(/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb) failed: Permission denied (euid=10000(vmail) egid=10000(vmail) missing +r perm: /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb, euid is not dir owner)
the error is correct caus its owned by root. My Questions is who should own it ? Im not sure how that works, what process/user calls the auth-userdb ? The auth-userdb returns the args generated in master.conf, right ?
i think comment out the user and group setting in master.conf will fix it but im not sure if that is the securest way.
the mails come from postfix via dovecot-lda

In your case it has to do with the passdb and/or userdb you use. In my case I had the problems with local users via pam.
