[Dovecot] permission denied message

[Averlon]

Hi all there - sorry I have to repeat the mail since I got the message
it was not delivered correctly.


Hi all,
I have run successfully a postfix/dovecot installation some time ago.

Now, setting up a new server, I am lost with some error messages.

I would appreciate some help.

f42252se dovecot: pop3-login: Error: auth: connect(login) in directory /
failed: Permission denied (euid=113(<getpwu
id() error>) egid=65534(<getgrgid() error>) missing +x perm: /, dir
owned by 5000:5000 mode=0750)

This is the error message I get.

"directory /" is a little bit courious to me.

Here my dovecot config:

+++
# 2.0.19: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

    user = postfix
  }

    user = vmail
  }
}

}
