[Dovecot] dovecot sasl error with postfix

[Arya, Manish Kumar]

Hi,

 I have compiled dovecot 1.0 and postfix 2.3 with dovecot support.

here are my config sections

dovecot in auth default section
----------
    client {
      user       group       /path       mode     }

postfix main.cf
---------------------
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable broken_sasl_auth_clients smtpd_sender_restrictions         check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/sender_access
smtpd_recipient_restrictions =permit_sasl_authenticated,
            reject_unknown_recipient_domain,
            reject_invalid_hostname,
          reject_non_fqdn_recipient,
     #       reject_non_fqdn_hostname,
            reject_non_fqdn_sender,
            reject_non_fqdn_recipient,
            reject_unknown_sender_domain,
            permit_mynetworks,
            reject_unauth_destination,

smtpd_sasl_type smtpd_sasl_path 
in  postfix logs i get 

Jul 29 16:36:22 localhost postfix/smtpd[1437]: warning: SASL: Connect to /var/run/dovecot/auth-client failed: Permission denied
Jul 29 16:36:22 localhost postfix/smtpd[1437]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms
Jul 29 16:36:23 localhost postfix/master[1426]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd pid 1437 exit status 1
Jul 29 16:36:23 localhost postfix/master[1426]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling

basically socket file is not created by dovecot

-sh-2.05b# ls /var/run/dovecot/auth-client
ls: /var/run/dovecot/auth-client: No such file or directory

not sure why

Regards,
-Manish
