[Dovecot] indexes permissions problem
Hey all, I did a search but didn't find the answer to my problem, so here goes.
I've got a centos 6 server running Dovecot 2.0.beta6 (3156315704ef).
For legacy reasons (I'm moving mail from a Dovecot 1.1.1 and FreeBSD box
with user home directories NFS mounted), my index files are setup to be
in /u/indexes/
On the Dovecot 1.1.1 installation, the perms on the indexes directory is 777 with root:mail ownership.
The same thing on the Dovecot 2 / Centos server results in a 'permission denied' error when Dovecot tries to create files. So, I guess my main question is, what perms and ownership should /u/indexes be set to? I've tried several different things before this cry for help...
Thanks.

What exactly is the error message? Copy&paste it entirely.

Those permissions look ok to me. It's possible that this was a bug in 2.0.beta6 and upgrading might help (but might not).
