  Okay.  I did set up an acl_shared_dict, but I’m not sure the file ownership/permissions aren’t somewhat in the way.  It appears dovecot, and doveadm, operate as the user in question, and I think the permission problems may be getting in my way.  I eventually made ~childuser/Maildir group readable (to a group I’m in), and then was seeing permission denied issues when I tried:

% sudo doveadm acl debug -u cross shared/childuser/INBOX
[…]
doveadm(cross): Error: open(/home/childuser/Maildir/dovecot-acl-list) failed: Permission denied

So, I made that file readable to a group I’m in, and that went away, but cal debug still shows no access.  I think UNIX permissions are what is impeding my progress at the moment.  Is that normal?  Any idea how you’re avoiding this problem, Andy?

  Okay.  This looks like it may help with my above problem.  I haven’t looked into it yet, but will check on that as it sounds valuable.  Thanks!
