dovecot - Nov 2010 - auth-worker ownership issue

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Greetings,

	I installed 2.0.7 this evening and I'm getting these messages in
/var/log/maillog :

Nov  8 23:36:53 myserver dovecot: auth: Fatal: net_connect_unix(auth-worker) in
directory /var/run/dovecot failed: Permission denied (euid=89(vpopmail)
egid=89(vchkpw) missing +r perm: auth-worker, euid is not dir owner)
Nov  8 23:36:53 myserver dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): command startup
failed, throttling


If I change the ownership of /var/run/dovecot/auth-worker to vpopmail, dovecot
starts working properly.  However, restarting the service results in this file
being re-owned by dovecot.

Am I missing a config option somewhere?  I'm using dovecot with qmail and
vpopmail 5.4.32.

Thanks,

It's not a very good idea to run auth process as vpopmail. The default
is "dovecot", which you should also run it as. So just remove:

service auth {
  user = vpopmail
}
