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

master.conf service auth {

auth_socket_path points to this userdb socket by default. It's typically

used by dovecot-lda, doveadm, possibly imap process, etc. Its default

permissions make it readable only by root, but you may need to relax these

permissions. Users that have access to this socket are able to get a list

of all usernames and get results of everyone's userdb lookups.

unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0600 #user = vmail #group = vmail }

auth-ldap.conf.ext passdb { driver = ldap args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext } userdb { driver = static args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/MAILBOXES/%u/ mail=/home/MAILBOXES/%u/mail }
