Hi all,
I'm running dovecot-1.0.rc17 on OpenBSD 3.9, using userdb and passdb methods of "ldap" (SSL on 636/tcp) in addition to "passwd".
Occasionally (generally after a few hours of operation, but not always), LDAP-based logins stop working (e.g. hang/timeout after POP3 PASS command). Accounts with local passwords (as opposed to accounts with a password field of "x") still work fine at this point.
'tcpdump' shows the persisient 636/tcp connection still with bidirectional traffic (PUSH/ACKs and ACKs like normal).
After restarting Dovecot, things are fine until next time.
I guess I could try and get login_ldap working with bsdauth, but if there's an issue in the Dovecot LDAP support I'd like to see it fixed.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Adrian Close
P.S. I note the LDAP timeout logging patch but it won't apply easily to rc17 and I'm hoping the issue has progressed since then anyway...
