Hello,
I'm currently running dovecot on a debian stable and every day, I see this message dozens of time in my logs :
Mar 16 11:27:57 hector dovecot-auth: pam_unix(dovecot:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=dovecot ruser=nicolas rhost=72.53.129.223 user=nicolas
on the list archive, this message for example tells to comment out the pam section. http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2008-July/031966.html Except that my authentication needs pam...
Is there any way to solve this without migrating to virtual users ?
Thanks in advance
Here is my dovecot -n output :
