Hi,

I'm trying to setup a system with dovecot to remove the old courier one, and everything (pop3, imap, lmtp, quotas) but managesieve is working fine. It seems like it's a problem with each user having a separate uid, because I have a working similar setup with a single uid working without problems.

In this system when I try to connect to the managesieve port using telnet I get no response:

$ telnet localhost 4190 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'. ^] telnet> quit

In the logs I see:

Dec 21 14:16:30 v000148 dovecot: managesieve-login: Disconnected: Inactivity (no auth attempts): rip=10.0.4.25, lip=10.0.82.8 Dec 21 14:16:30 v000148 dovecot: managesieve-login: Error: auth: connect(login) in directory / failed: Permission denied (euid=102(<unknown>) egid=103(<unknown>) missing +x perm: /, euid is not dir owner) Dec 21 14:16:30 v000148 dovecot: managesieve-login: Error: auth: connect(login) in directory / failed: Permission denied (euid=102(<unknown>) egid=103(<unknown>) missing +x perm: /, euid is not dir owner) Dec 21 14:19:30 v000148 dovecot: managesieve-login: Disconnected: Inactivity (no auth attempts): rip=10.0.4.25, lip=10.0.82.

(102 is the uid of the dovecot user, and 103 is the gid of the dovenull group)

My current setup is (I changed the mode of the service auth to 666 thinking the problem was there, but I got no change):
