I tried to set the guid, howerver dovecot reset it back to the way it was. Did I do something wrong?

foxmulder:dovecot# ll total 8 drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Jan 23 01:03 . drwxr-xr-x 7 root wheel 512 Jan 18 05:13 .. srw------- 1 root wheel 0 Jan 23 01:03 auth-worker.54141 drwxr-x--- 2 root dovecot 512 Jan 23 01:54 login -rw------- 1 root wheel 6 Jan 23 01:03 master.pid

So, the GID is wrong. Does your /var/run/dovecot/login directory (or wherever the ssl-parameters file exists) have setgid-bit set?

Maybe I should make it change the group just in case anyway.
