I run dovecot 1.2.6, before last update I had 1.2.2. on Debian Lenny. I noticed that my config directory /etc/dovecot is filled up with hundreds of old auth-worker.12345 sockets.
They should exist in Dovecot's base_dir, which is by default in /var/run/dovecot/ directory. Ok, this is the configured directory indeed, and it is clean.
I guess they should have been cleaned up, is there a misconfiguration? When I remember right, this did not happen with dovecot 1.1.
They get wiped out from base_dir when Dovecot starts up. If your base_dir isn't in /etc/dovecot/, I've no idea why they would have gone there. Must have been a misconfiguration when I installed dovecot new on this server. I cleaned the files manually, and all works fine. Thanks.
