Does Squirrelmail log when it attempts to authenticate a user? That
would be the easiest way. The other possibility that I can think of
would be to catch the process in netstat -pn output, but running that at
the correct time could be a bit difficult. Or I suppose you could just
make a script that runs it every second and saves the output and current
time and ps output. Then when you see a log failure, look up the correct
netstat output and see which process has a connection to Dovecot.
