I'm still troubleshooting a faulty email server, and got the following
results when I tried doveadm:

kwright@grace:/etc/dovecot/conf.d$ doveadm auth lookup [email protected]
Error: auth-master: passdb lookup([email protected]): Auth PASS lookup
failed
Error: passdb lookup failed for [email protected]
kwright@grace:/etc/dovecot/conf.d$ doveadm auth test [email protected]
Password: 
Error: auth-client: conn unix:/var/run/dovecot/auth-client:
connect(/var/run/dovecot/auth-client) failed: Permission denied
(euid=1000(kwright) egid=1000(kwright) missing +r perm:
/var/run/dovecot/auth-client, dir owned by 0:0 mode=0755)
kwright@grace:/etc/dovecot/conf.d$ ls -la /var/run/dovecot/auth-client
srw------- 1 dovecot root 0 Jan  4 19:09 /var/run/dovecot/auth-client

I see /var/run/dovecot/auth-client only has read and write permissions
for the owner and nothing for anyone else.  Is this part of my problem?
