[Dovecot] dovecot2 auth-worker socket perms ignoring assigned ownership settings in conf.d/10-master.conf?
I have Dovecot2 auth setup to run as
user = doveauth
group = dovecotconfigured in,
vi conf.d/10-master.conf
...
service auth {
unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
user = postfix
group = postfix
mode = 0660
}
user = doveauth
group = dovecot
}
service auth-worker {
user = doveauth
group = dovecot
}
...When I start Dovecot,
ls -al /var/run/dovecot/auth-*
/bin/ls: No match.
service dovecot-custom start
Starting Dovecot ... doneDovect's auth-process sockets are created with different ownership than what I specified,

What needs to change to get those sockets created with correct/assigned ownership & perms?

You need an extra piece here:
service auth-worker { user = $default_internal_user
unix_listener auth-worker {
user = postfix
}}
It was *not* easy to figure that out; none of the postfix/dovecot how-to's have been updated for dovecot 2.

Maybe being too literal, or misunderstanding your 'extra', I changed to,
...
service auth-worker {
# user = doveauth
# group = dovecot
user = $default_internal_user
unix_listener auth-worker {
user = postfix
}
}
...At
telnet 127.0.0.1 143
etcI get the same FAIL as above.
But, if first I
chown doveauth:dovecot /var/run/dovecot/auth-workerthen
telnet 127.0.0.1 143
Trying 127.0.0.1...

Hmm, I just cut-and-pasted my config :), the missing piece was the unix_listener subconfig user, the user/group part in the service config didn't need to match mine exactly, although I think $default_internal_user is dovecot anyway.
chown doveauth:dovecot /var/run/dovecot/auth-worker
Hmm, perhaps I misunderstood you? I thought you were trying to get SASL auth working with postfix? But you're demonstrating an imap connection.
Ah, yes, I see in your original email you showed an imap connection too. I just saw the /var/spool/postfix/private/auth and user/group postfix parts of the config and made an assumption.
My config was for using Dovecot *just* to provide SASL authentication services to postfix for smtp auth, I'm not using any of its other features/services.
Sorry for any confusion.
I'm curious though, why are you setting the auth stuff up to be owned by postfix if you'd trying to authenticate dovecot imap processes? It seems you're mixing two different configs.

np. issue solved. for my config,
...
service auth-worker {
user = doveauth
unix_listener auth-worker {
user = doveauth
}
}
...then
service dovecot-custom restart
ls -al /var/run/dovecot/auth-worker

I'm converting to SQL from flatfiles (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/VirtualUserFlatFilesPostfix).
Just haven't gotten to making all the changes yet. Single-stepping through testing, got to IMAP and found this issue.
Thanks for the help!

Fwiw, this looks useful
Authentication process user http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserIds
Trying to get those $default_... redefined. No luck yet.
