Hi,
I use dovecot and smtpd on my personal mail server.
They both share the same password file.
I works very well, but I'm concerned about permissions on this file :
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel passwd
It's world readable. I would like to let dovecot and smtpd to read only this
file, and no one else could.
I tried to set a _maildaemons group and put _smtpd and _dovecot users in it,
then :
-rw-r----- 1 root _maildaemons passwd
Sadly, dovecot can't read the passwd file with this configuration,a nd I can't
figure out why.
Any advice ?
# part of dovecot config
passdb {
args = scheme=blf-crypt /etc/mail/passwd
driver = passwd-file
}
