[Dovecot] Fatal: open() failed for /var/run/dovecot/login: Permission denied
I keep getting this message when I try to start dovecot using the -F option. Fatal: open() failed for /var/run/dovecot/login: Permission denied
Checking /var/run/dovecot/login folder permissions does not seem to indicate anything wrong as root has all the permissions it needs. If I am not mistaken, dovecot can run as root while in the login directory correct?
When I try to start the dovecot service, it fails with the message: dovecot dead but subsys locked.
Can anybody help me resolve this issue?
I am running RHEL5.4.
Thanks in advance.

Remove /var/run/dovecot/login, it will be created upon start, but IMHO you need 0755 permission on /var/run/dovecot
