[Dovecot] chdir failed, but requires group permissions

[Brent Nesbitt]

Yes, I am using passwd - as I also have webmail using these same logins - so changing the "actual" home directory won't work either.  
At this point I am using popa3d instead of dovecot - but Dovecot is a much more capable program, so I thought it SHOULD have worked.

Brent.

Yes, but I meant that you could change the userdb not to return a  
home directory at all for users. Or are you using passwd as userdb?  
Then it gets trickier..
