- It won't start from xinetd. I get very little in the logs, just:

where 'xyz' is the host name
How exactly did you try to start it?
- If I instead I run dovecot as a daemon then both my machines have suffered the problem where dovecot runs for several days and then disallows connections with:
Apr 29 04:06:07 xyz dovecot: imap-login: opendir(.) failed when trying to get list of authentication servers: Permission denied
Something has changed the permissions of /usr/local64/var/run/dovecot/login directory. When this happens, see what the directory permissions are.
Killing and restarting dovecot seems to fix it.
Dovecot resets the permissions at startup.
