Thanks,

It is still in the old location
/var/run/dovecot/auth-master.
The old version is running proper with it.
But the new version shows the following

/var/run/dovecot# ls -la /usr/local/var/run/dovecot
drwxr-sr-x 3 root staff   4096 2010-04-06 17:18 .
drwxr-sr-x 3 root staff   4096 2010-04-06 16:12 ..
srw------- 1 root root       0 2010-04-06 17:18 auth-worker.4270
srwxrwxrwx 1 root staff      0 2010-04-06 17:18 dict-server

What creates that socket? Something like Exim or Postfix?
Chances are the external program still creates that socket under it's
original directory and will either need to be changed to match your new
path, or point it to the existing socket.

find / -iname auth-master

May be worth a run just to see if it still exists in the 'old' location
the last dovecot was looking at.
