Hi all-- been away from the list for a few weeks so forgive me if this problem has been reported-- with the help of some of our Kerberos engineers, we tracked down why we can't authenticate our Solaris kerberos clients to Dovecot.
Here's the deal: Our IT organization issued us kerberos tickets of the form
imap@foobar.sfbay.sun.comWhich I presume is their standard-- and probably not negotiable. However, the hostname of the machine is: "foobar", not foobar.sfbay.sun.com (as reported by gethostname(3c)).
That's broken. When using Kerberos, hostnames need to be FQDN's.
