I'm using the doveadm import command to extract mails from my backup:
% doveadm import -u restore at backup.invalid mdbox:/home/copymail/mdbox
"" \
mailbox INBOX header Delivered-To backup+$SEARCHPATTERN at backup.invalid
This works like a charm, I'm getting all the mails, and I can access
the newly generated mailbox.
But when executing the command I'm getting an annoying warning:
doveadm(restore at backup.invalid): Error: chdir(/root/) failed: Permission
denied (euid=1001(copymail) egid=1001(copymail) missing +x perm: /root, dir
owned by 0:0 mode=0700)
doveadm(restore at backup.invalid): Error: chdir(/root) failed: Permission
denied
I'm using a file based authentication:
# cat passwd
restore at
backup.invalid:{SHA}+/...the.hash...:1001:1001:(gecos):/home/restore::
So why is "restore at backup.invalid" being associated with /root?
I'm using 2:2.2.18-1~auto+91, but the warning has been around for ages
:)

It seems doveadm is changing uids and then chdirs to the original home directory. I made it go away by using "sudo". This will not fit all situations.

The signature of the command is: doveadm [-Dv] import [-S socket_path] [-s] -u user source_location dest_parent search_query You supply "" as dest_parent which I guess could mean ".", and that may be "/root" when run as root. Try "INBOX" or "restore_folder" and see if the error vanishes. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
