Hello :)
I had a working Dovecot 0.99.x with the following dovecot.conf: ### ssl_disable = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no login = imap verbose_proctitle = yes default_mail_env = maildir:%h/Maildir auth = default auth_mechanisms = plain auth_userdb = passwd /etc/passwd auth_passdb = shadow /etc/shadow auth_user = root protocols = imap pop3 ###
Then I've downloaded, compiled and installed Doveot 1.0.rc6, I tried lot of "possibilities" in the new dovecot.conf but I always get :
dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.rc6 starting up dovecot: Login process died too early - shutting down dovecot: child 15288 (login) killed with signal 11 dovecot: child 15289 (login) killed with signal 11 dovecot: child 15290 (login) killed with signal 11
Some add. info:
# dovecot -n # /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf ssl_disable: yes login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login auth default: passdb: driver: shadow args: /etc/shadow userdb: driver: passwd
How can I get the new Dovecot acting as the old one? I don't use pam (which seems to be default now), simply shadow passwords (Slackware). http://wiki.dovecot.org/UpgradingDovecot did not help me.
TIA, websafe
