Seems that the problem was that I had a symlink (for convenience) of
/var/run/dovecot to /var/run/dovecot-director (so that I don't have to
specify the instance name for common operations, which mostly involve
the director).
If I remove that symlink, and run the command with '-i main'
# doveadm -i main auth cache flush
904 cache entries flushed
The relevant code is something like:
if (auth_socket_path == NULL) {
auth_socket_path = t_strconcat(doveadm_settings->base_dir,
"/auth-master", NULL);
I'm guessing that auth_socket_path isn't null for some reason, and thus
the auth_socket_path isn't constructed correctly in this case, even
though the instance is being specified?
