dovecot --version => 2.1.7

When I as a normal user the command:

doveadm pw -s sha512-crypt -p example_password

the command exit with return code 89 and the message

doveconf: Fatal: open(/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf) failed: Permission denied

If I make Dovecot's configuration files world readable the error goes away.
 Please remove configuration file dependencies from "doveadm pw".
