Re: Doveadm auth fails

kwright@grace:/etc/dovecot/conf.d$ ls -la /var/run/dovecot/auth-client srw------- 1 dovecot root 0 Jan 4 19:09 /var/run/dovecot/auth-client

I see /var/run/dovecot/auth-client only has read and write permissions for the owner and nothing for anyone else. Is this part of my problem?

That is same for me [root@host /]# ll /var/run/dovecot/auth-client srw------- 1 dovecot root 0 Jan 4 15:31 /var/run/dovecot/auth-client
