I wasn't able to find anything about this on the site that could give me a definite answer, but when I start dovecot it dies immediately. The following is left in the logs.
dovecot: Oct 06 20:59:30 Info: Dovecot starting up dovecot: Oct 06 20:59:32 Error: Auth process died too early - shutting down pop3-login: Oct 06 20:59:32 Fatal: fd_send(-1) failed: Broken pipe
Doesn't it say why auth process died? It should say at least something.. Such as a crash..
I thought this might have something to do with chrooting so I tried to disable all of that in the configuration. After that did not work I rebuilt dovecot with minimal configure options (compared to what I used originally) and used a stock configuration changing only the certificate locations so that dovecot would not complain about the certificates missing, still no luck and the same error.
So your auth_userdb = passwd and auth_passdb = pam?
I've tried using strace on dovecot but it seems like it hardly ever hangs/dies at the same point. I'm trying to run this on a slackware 9.0 linux based machine. Any suggestions?
I could take a look at one of the straces. And give the -f parameter to it.
