[Dovecot] problem with master db and dovecot-2.0.beta3

24 Feb 2010


      Hello,
i am currenty testing dovecot 2.0.beta3 and ran into a problem with the
master-db setting.
For our webmail access we are sucessfully using the following settings
with dovecot-1.2.10
auth_master_user_separator =*
auth default {
mechanisms = plain
passdb passwd-file {
args = /etc/dovecot/passwd.masterusers
master = yes
pass = yes
}
passdb ldap {
args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf
}
}
when "converting" the settings to version 2.0 i tried the following:
auth_mechanisms = plain
auth_master_user_separator = *
passdb {
driver = passwd-file
args = /etc/dovecot/passwd.masterusers
master = yes
pass = yes
}
passdb {
driver = ldap
args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf
}
But when i try to login, the auth process gets stalled with the
following log entry:
auth: Fatal: Master passdb can't have pass=yes if there are no passdbs
master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling
Am i doing something wrong or is it problem with the 2.0-beta ?
Regards,
