Hello,

using Dovecot v1.2 changeset: 9126:b745911012bb

This line in dovecot.conf make trouble (wrapped in mail):

mail_executable = 
/usr/local/dovecot-1.2.rc5unpatched/libexec/dovecot/rawlog 
/usr/local/dovecot-1.2.rc5unpatched/libexec/dovecot/imap

# sbin/dovecot -F
Fio_loop_handle_add: epoll_ctl(1, 0): Operation not permitted
Error: imap dump-capability process killed with signal 13
Fatal: Invalid configuration in 
/usr/local/dovecot-1.2.rc5unpatched/etc/dovecot.conf

If I remove rawlog from dovecot.conf, dovecot -F starts up nicely.

==============

I strace'd the problem and finally the following program is exec'ed 
(wrapped in mail):

bunch of env-vars
/usr/local/dovecot-1.2.rc5unpatched/libexec/dovecot/rawlog 
/usr/local/dovecot-1.2.rc5unpatched/libexec/dovecot/imap 
'[dump-capability' '??]'

When I start this line (incl. all the env vars) as root, I get:

* BAD [ALERT] imap binary must not be started from inetd, use imap-login 
instead.

When I remove rawlog, I get:

ILoading modules from directory: 
/usr/local/dovecot-1.2.rc5unpatched/lib/dovecot/imap
[snip]
IMAP4rev1 [...snip...]

What I interprete as OK.

Bye,
