Hi,
Nobody?
It happens so rarely, and the system appears to be running fine
otherwise, should I just ignore it?
Still makes me wonder way it would happen at all..?

Hi,
We are getting very occasional messags from dovecot:
net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/stats-writer) failed: Permission denied
Over the last week, the message appeared five times. (on a mail server
with over 100 users, to that's basically almost never)
doveconf -n below
# 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# Pigeonhole version 0.5.4 ()
# OS: Linux 4.19.0-10-amd64 x86_64 Debian 10.6 xfs
snip...
service stats {
unix_listener stats-reader {
group = vmail
mode = 0660
user = vmail
}
unix_listener stats-writer {
group = vmail
mode = 0660
user = vmail
}
}
and the on-disk permissions are:
root@dovecot:~# ls -l /var/run/dovecot/*stat*
srw------- 1 root root 0 Oct 6 00:25 /var/run/dovecot/old-stats
prw------- 1 root root 0 Oct 6 00:25 /var/run/dovecot/old-stats-mail
prw------- 1 root root 0 Oct 6 00:25 /var/run/dovecot/old-stats-user
srw-rw---- 1 vmail vmail 0 Oct 6 00:25 /var/run/dovecot/stats-reader
srw-rw---- 1 vmail vmail 0 Oct 6 00:25 /var/run/dovecot/stats-writer
We're not sure what makes the Permission denied error happen...
Anyone with an idea?
