Hello,
I just download dovecot 1.0b8 and compiled and installed from sources. After setting some default configurations, here's what I get:
[root@ba root]# dovecot [root@ba root]# Fatal: sigaction(SIGRTMIN) failed: Invalid argument
Here`s my configuration:
# Base directory where to store runtime data. base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/
# Protocols we want to be serving: # imap imaps pop3 pop3s protocols = imap
protocol imap { listen = *:10143 # ssl_listen = *:10943 # .. } # Disable SSL/TLS support. ssl_disable = yes
# Use this logfile instead of syslog(). /dev/stderr can be used if you want to # use stderr for logging (ONLY /dev/stderr - otherwise it is closed). log_path = /dev/stderr
# For informational messages, use this logfile instead of the default info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-info.log
# everything in this directory is deleted when Dovecot is started. login_dir = /var/run/dovecot/login
# default_mail_env = maildir:/var/mail/%1u/%u/Maildir default_mail_env = mbox:/home/webmail/:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u
auth default { # Space separated list of wanted authentication mechanisms: # plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 ntlm rpa apop anonymous gssapi mechanisms = plain # /etc/passwd or similar, using getpwnam() # In many systems nowadays this uses Name Service Switch, which is # configured in /etc/nsswitch.conf. userdb passwd { } user = root }
This is really weird. I`ve installed it on another server, which has the same configuration and it shows the same error messsage.
BTW, both servers are DELL PowerEdge 2600, running Conectiva 9(outdated... but I`m in a production environment and changing is not trivial).
thanks in advance for any help.

I`ve tried to run dovecot many times in my system (Conectiva Linux 9) and was unable to do so. For some reason it gives this message and quits - never runs.
What message is that, exactly, that it is giving you before quitting?
