Sorry, i am confused. There is no similar clock in 10-master.conf

In fact,. the string "stats" does not appear in that file at all. The commented line

#default_internal_user = dovecot

is in that file, and that is the dovecot user (as seen in the permissions above).

Should I add

service stats {
  unix_listener stats-writer {
      user = dovecot
  }
  unix_listener stats-reader {
      user = dovecot
  }
}

to my dovecot.conf file?
