     I have migrated from dovecot 1.2 to dovecot 2.0. When I connect via 
telnet to 110 port of the dovecot server the client hangs:

telnet 192.168.4.80 110

Trying 192.168.4.80...
/Connected to 192.168.4.80.
Escape character is '^]'./


     In syslog I got the following error:


/Jan 12 12:14:44 buzon dovecot: imap-login: Error: auth: connect(login) 
in directory / failed: Permission denied (euid=107(<unknown>) 
egid=110(<unknown>) missing +x perm: /, euid is not dir owner)/


     My /var/run/dovecot directory listing is the following:


  ls -lhR /var/run/dovecot

     What am I doing wrong? I have migrated a identical server from 
dovecot 1.2 to dovecot 2.0 without this problem.
