Im chmod /var/run/dovecot/auth-master to 777. And all start work well. So it is true permission problem. Please tell me what user must own tis file.

Hello all.

Just one quick stupid question. ;-( Im try to configure Exim + Dovecot 1.1.1 on FreeBSD 7.0

Then im try to send mail in logs im see this: deliver(admin@domain.off): Jul 02 13:52:22 Error: Can't connect to auth server at /var/run/dovecot/auth-master: No such file or directory

%ls -al /var/run/dovecot/* srw-rw---- 1 exim wheel /var/run/dovecot/auth-client srw------- 1 dovecot-auth wheel /var/run/dovecot/auth-master srw------- 1 dovecot-auth dovecot-auth /var/run/dovecot/auth-worker.6512 srwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel /var/run/dovecot/dict-server -rw------- 1 root wheel /var/run/dovecot/master.pid

As im can understand im confused at Dovecot permission system. Please tell me what im must fix.

Here is my config:
