dovecot - Sep 2005 - auth-master socket access

Hey,

I'm doing a setup of dovecot  (cvs) + postfix + dovecot lda (cvs).

Is there any solution to the /var/run/dovecot/auth-master access 
restrictions, prohibiting the user running dovecot-deliver from 
communicating with the master (aside from the dirty and unsafe hack to 
reset the permissions of the /var/run/dovecot dir after starting dovecot)?

Thanks,

Lieven

RTFWiki: Put the auth-master socket into another directory and write
this path into dovecot-lda.conf.

Setting suid on the deliver binary should also help, but it does not
work and it seems to me that it's not designed for such usage.
