Hi!
Dovecot runs with no problems on my up2date RH9 box with SSL. Also, I'vebuild custom rpm for 0.99.10.5 release with uw-imap pop3 uid patch based on FC2 dovecot and they works pretty good. ;-)
Regards, Oleg.

I've been seeing the Dovecot/SSL/Fedora 1 problem.
I have a dovecot server which tends to die at least once a day, with messages like these :- May 24 13:44:44 mail pop3-login: RAND_bytes() failed: error:24064064:random number generator:SSLEAY_RAND_BYTES:PRNG not seeded May 24 13:44:44 mail dovecot: Login process died too early - shutting down
I noticed Timo's email about this at: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2004-May/003316.html with the patch that just ignores the return code of RAND_bytes().
That fixes the crashes, but probably still causes occational problems with SSL connection handshakes failing.
I require encrypted communications between my server and my client for all services, including smtp and imap. I was getting ready to upgrade my server from RH9 and imap-2000 to fedora core 1 and dovecot until I saw this thread.
Has anybody brought the ssl problem to the upstream maintainers so that it can get fixed?
Thanks!
Ben
