Preferably you'd use auth-userdb now instead of auth-master.

doveconf converts that just fine:
service auth {
unix_listener /var/run/dovecot/auth-client {
mode = 0660
}
unix_listener /var/run/dovecot/auth-master {
mode = 0600
user = vmail
}
}
But again, auth-userdb instead of auth-master is safer.
