 Ive taken a look at this and cant quite figure out what is going on
here. I have tested all the SQL permissions, and also changed the
unix_listener auth-userdb mode to 0666 (as instructed elsewhere to try and
solve this issue), but cannot seem to work out what the issue is.


what happens if you connect to that socket manually, e.g.:

# sudo -u <lda-user> socat - UNIX:/usr/local/dovecot/var/
run/dovecot/auth-userdb
VERSION 1       1
SPID    1746

Maybe first try as root, then with the partucular users.


Thanks for the reply! I tried this as root and got the following:

[root@vmail1 ~]# socat -
UNIX:/usr/local/dovecot/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb
2014/03/16 20:57:05 socat[24404] E connect(3, AF=1
"/usr/local/dovecot/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb", 48): Connection refused

Seems a bit wierd that I can't connect as root?

Actually, "Connection refused" is not "Permission denied", I would say that:

a) Dovecot is not running,
b) Dovecot is not configured to listen on that socket,
c) Dovecot died when you've connect
d) SELinux, AppArmor, ... prevent access -> but I would expect "Permission denied" in that cases, too

Check: lsof -c dovecot|grep auth-userdb
dovecot 12600 root   56u  unix 0xffff88003f94ed00      0t0  48261 
/var/run/dovecot2.2/auth-userdb
