I'm not talking about fixing it from the command line (no need to, as the
permissions are in fact correct), I'm talking about the chmod() call in
the dovecot source (src/master/master-settings.c, line# 798). ;-)

BTW my (command line) chmod doesn't know a "-h" option, what's it supposed
to do? Something with (not) following symlinks, I guess?

| [zlatko at disclosure]:~$ chmod -h
| chmod: invalid option -- h
| Try `chmod --help' for more information.
| [zlatko at disclosure]:~$ chmod --version | head -1
| chmod (coreutils) 5.2.1
