[Dovecot] Problem with ldap / quotas

[Nikolaos Milas]

Also, as my virtual mail user:group is vmail:vmail, should I change 
permissions in auth-master path (/var/run/dovecot)?

    # ls -la /var/run/dovecot/
    total 28
    drwxr-xr-x  3 root dovecot 4096 Feb 22 23:32 .
    drwxr-xr-x 23 root root    4096 Feb 23 08:36 ..
    srw-------  1 root root       0 Feb 22 23:32 auth-worker.7282
    srwxrwxrwx  1 root root       0 Feb 16 18:01 dict-server
    lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      17 Feb 16 18:01 dovecot.conf ->
    /etc/dovecot.conf
    drwxr-x---  2 root dovecot 4096 Feb 22 23:32 login
    -rw-------  1 root root       6 Feb 16 18:01 master.pid

and in /var/run:

    ...
    drwxr-xr-x 3 root    dovecot  4096 Feb 22 23:32 dovecot
    ...

Should we change to 777 so that vmail user (under which deliver will be 
running) has access to the above locations? If so, could there be 
security implications?

Thanks,
Nick
