ok. I guess that narrows it down a bit.
I'm on Ubuntu 14.10 64 bit server.
my settings and ownership for /private are
drwx------ 2 postfix root 4096 May 26 09:04 private
There is nothing in the system (or devocot) logs that would indicate
why the socket isn't created.
Finally, I would expect "dovecot -n" to show some indication of this
listener, which for me it doesn't.
Thanks,
Leo
