I am trying to move from dovecot-1.x to dovecot 2.1 but I have this error :

Preferably you'd use auth-userdb now instead of auth-master.

and I dont' manage to find information about how to translate this old configuration part:

socket listen { master { # Master socket provides access to userdb information. It's typically # used to give Dovecot's local delivery agent access to userdb so it # can find mailbox locations. path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0600 # Default user/group is the one who started dovecot-auth (root) user = vmail #group = } client { # The client socket is generally safe to export to everyone. Typical use # is to export it to your SMTP server so it can do SMTP AUTH lookups # using it. path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client mode = 0660 }

doveconf converts that just fine:

service auth { unix_listener /var/run/dovecot/auth-client { mode = 0660 } unix_listener /var/run/dovecot/auth-master { mode = 0600 user = vmail } }

But again, auth-userdb instead of auth-master is safer.
