Just installed dovecot 1.1.2. downloaded from dovecot.org. Seemed to compile and install OK but I get the following error when I try to start it "child 28410 (auth) returned error 89 (fatal failure)" I just want to use it for SMTP/SASL authorization, not Pop3 or IMAP, as yet It looks as though I haven't installed some component or other but what? Config file follows;
# 1.1.2: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf protocols: none login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login auth default: mechanisms: plain login passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix
