Hi..
im still trying to upgrade to 2.0.
Im getting:
dovecot: lda: Error: userdb lookup:
connect(/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb) failed: Permission denied
(euid=10000(vmail) egid=10000(vmail) missing +r perm:
/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb, euid is not dir owner)
the error is correct caus its owned by root. My Questions is who should own it ?
Im not sure how that works, what process/user calls the auth-userdb ?
The auth-userdb returns the args generated in master.conf, right ?
i think comment out the user and group setting in master.conf will fix
it but im not sure if that is the securest way.
the mails come from postfix via dovecot-lda

master.conf
service auth {
# auth_socket_path points to this userdb socket by default. It's typically
# used by dovecot-lda, doveadm, possibly imap process, etc. Its default
# permissions make it readable only by root, but you may need to relax these
# permissions. Users that have access to this socket are able to get a list
# of all usernames and get results of everyone's userdb lookups.
unix_listener auth-userdb {
mode = 0600
#user = vmail
#group = vmail
}
auth-ldap.conf.ext
passdb {
driver = ldap
args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext
}
userdb {
driver = static
args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/MAILBOXES/%u/
mail=/home/MAILBOXES/%u/mail
}
Had more or less the same fight with 1.2.9. I had to change auth user to
the group 'shadow' (if /etc/shadow is owned by group shadow). Or run
auth under the default user 'root'.
In your case it has to do with the passdb and/or userdb you use. In my
case I had the problems with local users via pam.
