That should work with Linux. But maybe it doesn't work with all kernels. A few things you could anyway try:
- check that /var/run/dovecot/login directory is writable by the login process user (dovecot I guess)
- try login_chroot=no
- echo 2 > /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable
# 1.1.20: /etc/dovecot.conf Unless the crash is something simple (which I doubt it is), I don't really want to spend time trying to debug and fix it for v1.1 anymore. There's a good chance it's already fixed in v1.2 (and a very good chance it's fixed in v2.0).
You could also try setting login_process_per_connection=no. That makes login processes behave quite differently and could also happen to fix this.
We will give these suggestions a try. If we succeed in getting a core dump, i'll report back.... otherwise, it looks like our best option will be to upgrade.
Thanks!
