[Dovecot] auth-worker ownership issue
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
Greetings,
I installed 2.0.7 this evening and I'm getting these messages in /var/log/maillog :Nov 8 23:36:53 myserver dovecot: auth: Fatal: net_connect_unix(auth-worker) in directory /var/run/dovecot failed: Permission denied (euid=89(vpopmail) egid=89(vchkpw) missing +r perm: auth-worker, euid is not dir owner) Nov 8 23:36:53 myserver dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling
If I change the ownership of /var/run/dovecot/auth-worker to vpopmail, dovecot starts working properly. However, restarting the service results in this file being re-owned by dovecot.
Am I missing a config option somewhere? I'm using dovecot with qmail and vpopmail 5.4.32.
Thanks,
Jason 'XenoPhage' Frisvold xenophage@godshell.com

It's not a very good idea to run auth process as vpopmail. The default is "dovecot", which you should also run it as. So just remove:
service auth { user = vpopmail }
