[Dovecot] Error - Dovecot Permission denied

[kbajwa]

CentOS 5.2
Postfix 2.3.3 (Came Packed with CentOS)
Dovecot 1.1.1
Dovecot-Sieve 1.1.5

Did a complete new fresh install. When I send a message to:
test at wildpeacockstudios.com, I get two error messages as listed in the
/var/log/maillog:

(1) (lost connection with mail.tibonline.net[12.179.81.11] while receiving
the initial server greeting)

(2) status=bounced (local configuration error. Command output: Fatal:
open(/etc/dovecot.conf) failed: Permission denied )



Attached are copies of (a) Postfix, (b) Dovecot, (c) Dovecot-Sieve in
'/home/test/' and (d) /var/log/maillog
