dovecot - Jan 2010 - Socket permission 432/384 and dovecot.conf

Sorry for that question but:

when you set in dovecot.conf this for example:

socket listen {
  client {
    path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
    mode = 0660
    user = postfix
    group = postfix
  }
}

and you run "dovecot -n" you'll see

client:
  path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
  mode: 432

I'm wondering about the mode "432" - how is this value calculated?
Same for the auth/master socket socket - the value ist "384" and in
dovecot.conf it's 0600.

Thanks for any info.

432 is the decimal representation (radix 10), 0660 is the octal one (radix 
8).

It's good old C-style of writing numbers, that 0 prefixes octal, 0x 
hexadecimal numbers.
