ok. Obviously I'm no guru here, I'm just trying to figure out why this
socket is missing.
If I shut down postfix, the sockets in private are still there. They
are also all owned by postfix. If postfix is only the consumer then I
assume dovecot must have write access to private, which it doesn't
Thanks
