Hi,

Maybe I've been staring at config files and man pages too long, but the doc page for Dsync is a little confusing and I don't how to solve my problem. I've probably missed something simple and stupid, but as I said, I've been staring at this problem too long and need a second pair of eyes on it !

Per doveconf below the user/owner for auth db is a user with shell /bin/false. Root SSH login is also disabled on the target machine, so I need to use a script user to do the sync.

I installed dovecot on the target host and config'd it as per the second doveconf below

But all I ever get are errors such as :
su -c "dsync -u t...@somewhere.example.com backup its-virtm...@somewhere.example.com" its_scripts dsync(its_scripts): Fatal: setuid(1001(its-virtmail) from userdb lookup) failed with euid=1002(its_scripts): Operation not permitted (This binary should probably be called with process user set to 1001(its-virtmail) instead of 1002(its_scripts)) root@ukc-vm02-mx01:/etc/dovecot/conf.d# dsync(its_scripts): Error: userdb lookup: connect(/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb) failed: Permission denied (euid=1002(its_scripts) egid=1002(its_scripts) missing +r perm: /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb, dir owned by 0:0 mode=0755)

Even if I temporarily give /bin/sh and an ssh key to the dovecot user, I still can't get it to work :

ssh its-virtm...@somewhere.example.com dsync -u t...@example.com
dsync(its-virtmail): Error: user t...@somewhere.example.com: Initialization failed: mail_location not set and autodetection failed: Mail storage autodetection failed with home=/srv/mail/example.com/test
dsync(its-virtmail): Fatal: User init failed
