Hi,
I think I sorted it out : I also had to add a service section to dovecot.conf and I had to change the old "imap-login" settings in /etc./hosts.allow to be simply "imap" now.
service tcpwrap {
unix_listener login/tcpwrap {
group = $default_login_user
mode = 0600
user = $default_login_user
}
}
After this it seems to work fine !
Timo : maybe this could be documented a little better ? It took me quite a while now to figure it all out.
About the "not running from inetd" problem : would it be enough to copy the modules to the chrooted directory to avoid this connect(imap-login) problem ?
regards, Kees Lemmens.

Hi Timo,others,
Adding login_access_sockets = tcpwrap wasn't enough : I also had to recompile dovecot 2.0.13 with the --with-libwrap option. Then linking failed as it didn't link with libnsl.so but that was easily fixed.
However, if I try to connect now with tcpwrap switched on I still have a problem. It doesn't connect and shows the following error message :
tail /var/log/dovecot.log Jul 27 15:05:42 auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /opt64/dovecot-2.0.13/lib/dovecot/auth Jul 27 15:05:44 auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=20071) Jul 27 15:05:44 imap-login: Error: connect(tcpwrap) failed: No such file or directory
Any idea what I might have forgotten ?
Thanks a lot for the response !
regards, Kees Lemmens.

Is dovecot indeed ignoring hosts.allow/deny ?
Yes. But you can enable tcpwrappers with:
login_access_sockets = tcpwrap
BTW: I tried to post on the mailinglist but it seems I can't access them it the moment, altough I did subscribe and login. Is there anything wrong ?
Nothing's wrong as far as I know..
