Question Error: Failed to unhibernate client: net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/imap-master) failed: Permission denied

[tkalfaoglu]

I'm seeing this in the logs of dovecot.. I had enabled auto-hibernate in the configuration, but for some reason it doesn't seem to like it..

Is there something wrong with its permissions?

I guess this is a dovecot bug because even though the config says mode 660 for the socket file, it was created with 600 - root only..
So I did some chmod's to bring it to 666 and the errors seem to have stopped.. strange.
