hi all, after havong some other trouble with my server i finally managed to recompile and install dovecot. installed it in /usr/local (the dafault). below u see a dump of my config file. i want to use "normal" shadow passwords for authentification. i adjustet the pathes from /usr/ to /usr/local/. when i login with outlook express 4 example i get the error: unsupported authentification method. (my system isn't configured for shadow md5). in the error log i get the the /dev/urandom is needed but not found, well but i have it :) maybe a chroot setting?
thx bini
