[Dovecot] PAM, Active Directory, all users mapped to uid=0
by Matt Zukowski 01 May '07

01 May '07

I'm having a problem with authentication using PAM, connected on the back end to Active Directory. PAM authentication itself works fine. We can log in to the machine using AD credentials without any problems. Each user is automatically mapped to uid's in the 10000+ range. However, for some reason when the user logs in via dovecot, the user's uid and gid are showing up as 0. For example: dovecot: May 01 11:22:47 Info: auth(default): master out: USER 3 mzukowski uid=0 gid=0 home=/home/URBACON/mzukowski dovecot: May 01 11:22:47 Error: Logins with UID 0 not permitted (user mzukowski) Is there a reason why dovecot might not be resolving the uid and gid correctly? PAM itself seems to be doing this right, since when I log on to the machine as an AD user, their UID shows up correctly as 10000+.

[Dovecot] dovecot-ldap and ldap_result() failed.
by Tan Shao Yi 01 May '07

01 May '07

Hi, I have configured dovecot for auth_bind against an LDAP server on the localhost and I'm seeing the following error in my dovecot logs: dovecot: Apr 30 09:03:18 Error: auth(default): LDAP: ldap_result() failed: Can't contact LDAP server dovecot: Apr 30 09:03:27 Error: auth(default): LDAP: ldap_result() failed: Can't contact LDAP server ... and so on ... When I turned on LDAP logging, this was what slapd logged. Apr 30 09:05:00 recess3 slapd[14387]: [ID 848112 local4.debug] conn=3555 fd=11 ACCEPT from IP=127.0.0.1:47299 (IP=0.0.0.0:389) Apr 30 09:05:00 recess3 slapd[14387]: [ID 215403 local4.debug] conn=3555 op=0 BIND dn="cn=root,o=home" method=128 Apr 30 09:05:00 recess3 slapd[14387]: [ID 600343 local4.debug] conn=3555 op=0 BIND dn="cn=root,o=home" mech=SIMPLE ssf=0 Apr 30 09:05:00 recess3 slapd[14387]: [ID 588225 local4.debug] conn=3555 op=0 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text= May I know what is causing Dovecot to log that it Can't contact the LDAP server when slapd does see the incoming connection. Strangely, everything is working fine, my users are able to authenticate against LDAP; the UIDs, home directories, quotas etc are all picked up correctly. It's just the annoying auth(default) errors that keep popping up every 20 seconds or so. Thanking in advance if anyone has any ideas. Cheers.

[Dovecot] dovecot for imap
by dhottinger＠harrisonburg.k12.va.us 30 Apr '07

30 Apr '07

I have been using uw-imap on my mailserver. I tried briefly to use dovecot with the default config. It seem to work faster, but users imap folders (user accounts are in openldap) disappeared. Is there a sample config somewhere I can look at to get some idea how to configure dovecot so all the imap folders users created will appear when I make the switch? Most of my users login via Horde. Server is an FC6 box, dovecot installed via yum install. -- Dwayne Hottinger Network Administrator Harrisonburg City Public Schools

[Dovecot] Sieve notify error?
by Láďa 30 Apr '07

30 Apr '07

Hi, I am playing with Sieve, everything is working nice except notify method. Source script looks like this (generated with avelsieve): require ["fileinto","envelope","reject","vacation","imapflags","relational","compara tor-i;ascii-numeric","notify"]; if #hashed-avelsieve-source true { keep; notify :method "mailto" :options "xxx(a)xxx.xx" :low :message "Nova zpráva."; } but with no success. Message is delivered fine, but notification is not sent. Deliver logs only this: deliver(xxx(a)xxx.xx): Apr 28 20:05:23 Info: sieve runtime error: Notify: Generic Error Thanks for any ideas how to get this working. Láďa

[Dovecot] Doubled subjectlines in mailfolders
by Götz Reinicke 30 Apr '07

30 Apr '07

Hi, after the upgrade from 0.99 to 1.0rc15 on our RHEL 5 Server I noticed, that some of my mailfolders do double the mails subject line in the listview of thunderbird. The mail itself isn't doubled and the second mail contains a different content from a mail that didn't show up in the list. SO it seams, that only the subject line is somehow wrong. Any ideas or tips? I haven't found anything on that googling or in the list archive; but maybe I'm searching with the wrong syntax ... Regards Götz
