Re: net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/stats-writer) failed: Permission denied

2020-10-23 Thread Richard Hector 
Hi, I'm seeing the same, but I think it's every time the lda is called 
to deliver mail to a mailbox. Postfix runs it as vmail:vmail.


My socket is owned by root:dovecot (on Debian buster).

Should I add vmail to the dovecot group to enable it to write? Or is 
changing the socket to 0666 safer?


I'm also a little confused, because according to
https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/stats/ no statistics are 
logged by default, and I have no mentions of 'metric' anywhere in my 
config, so why is the write even attempted? (dovecot 2.3.4)


Cheers,
Richard

You can ignore it, or you can change the socket permissions to 0666.

service stats {
unix_listener stats-writer {
   mode = 0666
}
}

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!

You can ignore it, or you can change the socket permissions to 0666.

service stats {
   unix_listener stats-writer {
  mode = 0666
   }
}

Hi,

Nobody?

It happens so rarely, and the system appears to be running fine 
otherwise, should I just ignore it?
