dovecot - Mar 2008 - Can't connect to auth server at /var/run/dovecot//auth-master

Hi,
 
 
  I'm using dovecot1.1 with postfix2.2.5; I configure dovecot.conf following
the dovecot-wiki.
  But i doesn't work. The maillog said 'Can't connect to auth server
at /var/run/dovecot//auth-master: No such file or directory' when I send a
mail.
 
  
my Postfix Master.cf configure:
 
dovecot   unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
    flags=DRhu user=vmail argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender}
-d ${recipient}
 
 
  I just confused that why it needed to be authed again when postfix pipe the
mail to dovecot.
 
 
Best regards!
Thanks and forgive my poor english writing.

It seems like chroot related problem.

auth-masterer provides access to user db. deliver needs it to get users
mail storage location, permissions etc.
auth-master output is something like "cat /etc/passwd | grep $user:"
output:)
