Hi!

For small systems I'd recommend fixing this with

service stats { unix-socket stats-writer { mode = 0666 } }

The error itself is not really an error, and it only means that you don't get stats from the process warning about these. If you are not using the new metrics system this is not a problem.

I've not found documentation on what should be happening there or what the right config is, though I did find some suggestions that 0660 and dovecot:dovecot is right.  (I've also not understood why I care, except I don't like to see regular errors in my logs if I can avoid it.)

Any pointers?

Thanks.
