--- Begin Message ---Package: dovecot-common Version: 1:2.0.12-1 Severity: normal dovecot's ssl-params sub-daemon appears to hardcode the path and filename to its parameters file. However, the other dovecot tools appear to look for the file using the ssl_parameters_file configuration variable. Launching dovecot as a non-privileged user without write permissions to /var/lib/dovecot produces the following warnings on stderr, even if ssl_parameters_file is set to a location where the user has read/write permissions: 2011-05-09 16:38:42 master: Info: Dovecot v2.0.12 starting up (core dumps disabled) 2011-05-09 16:38:42 ssl-params: Error: open(/var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat) failed: Permission denied 2011-05-09 16:38:42 ssl-params: Fatal: creat(/var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat.tmp) failed: Permission denied 2011-05-09 16:38:42 ssl-params: Error: child process failed with status 22784 Feel free to forward this upstream if you think it would be useful. thanks for maintaining dovecot in debian!

Based on patch by Chris Webb. Normally this isn't needed, since the data in the state_dir can be shared across multiple Dovecot instances, but in some specific use cases this may be useful (e.g. users running their own Dovecots).
