[Dovecot] 1.2.alpha1: file_dotlock_open() failed with subscription file

[Frank Elsner]

Hi *,

running dovecot 1.2.alpha1 I find the following messages in the log:

Sep 10 01:28:38 seymour dovecot: IMAP(steffen,192.168.28.31): fchown(/home/Mail/steffen/subscriptions.lock) failed: Operation not permitted

File permissions are:

-rw------- 1 steffen elsner 124 Aug 22 12:51 /home/Mail/steffen/subscriptions

And finally the output of "dovecot -n" reads:

What's behind? Critical? How to solve?
