Greetings,
I am setting up Dovecot 1.0.15 on my home Fedora Core 8 pc ONLY to access my mail archives across several mail clients. No access from the internet is possible or needed here.
I cannot log in with any client, the login always fails. The reason, as I understand, is that when dovecot starts it doesn't read any user name from the userdb file, so when I try to login it doesn't recognize my name and so doesn't even try to verify the password:
maillog excerpt:
Aug 3 00:06:11 polaris dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.15 starting up Aug 3 00:06:11 polaris dovecot: auth(default): passwd-file /etc/local_dovecot_passwords: Read 0 users
local_dovecot_passwords: marco:{PLAIN}thepassword:500:500::/home/marco/.MAIL/home_imap/
adding a newline to the line above solves the problem...
