22 The Dovecot user and group must have access to connect to this socket. You can create a new dedicated socket for Prosody too. Add the below to the _socket listen_ section of /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf, and match the socket path in Prosody's dovecot_auth_socket setting.

37 Note: Dovecot uses UNIX sockets by default. luasocket is compiled with UNIX socket on debian/ubuntu by default, but is not on many other platforms.

38 If you run into this issue, you would need to either recompile luasocket with UNIX socket support, or use Dovecot 2.x's TCP socket support.
