doveadm user *returns the full user list only once. A 2nd invocation of the same command within a small timeframe returns a subset of the local users only (the
The following Perl script can reproduce the behaviour:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use feature 'say';
sub count {
my $n;
setpwent() or die("setpwent");
$n++ while getpwent();
# endpwent();
return $n;
}
say count();
say count();If I miss the endpwent(), the first count retuns 400+ users, but the second one only about 30 (which matches the lines I've in the /etc/passwd file).
If I use the endpwent(), I always get 400+ users.
Su, I suspect, the unfortunate behaviour is on the dovecot side (in the auth processes)
What do you think?
