Upon rebooting our Dovecot server, I got these:
Mar 16 09:49:16 peridot.tc.umn.edu dovecot: [ID 195972 local6.info] Dovecot v1.0.rc27 starting up Mar 16 09:49:18 myhost.mydomain dovecot: imap-login: Can't connect to auth server at default: Connection refused Mar 16 09:49:18 myhost.mydomain last message repeated 1 time Mar 16 09:49:18 myhost.mydomain dovecot: pop3-login: Can't connect to auth server at default: Connection refused Mar 16 09:49:18 myhost.mydomain dovecot: imap-login: Can't connect to auth server at default: Connection refused Mar 16 09:49:18 myhost.mydomain last message repeated 2 times Mar 16 09:49:18 myhost.mydomain dovecot: pop3-login: Can't connect to auth server at default: Connection refused Mar 16 09:49:18 myhost.mydomain last message repeated 2 times Mar 16 09:49:18 myhost.mydomain dovecot: imap-login: Can't connect to auth server at default: Connection refused Mar 16 09:49:18 myhost.mydomain last message repeated 1 time Mar 16 09:49:18 myhost.mydomain dovecot: pop3-login: Can't connect to auth server at default: Connection refused Mar 16 09:49:18 myhost.mydomain dovecot: imap-login: Can't connect to auth server at default: Connection refused
However, everything does work okay. I believe we ran into this once before and reported it and I had thought Timo fixed it. It seems that imap-login and pop3-login attempt to connect to the auth server before it is fully operational. I don't recall what the fix was supposed to change, but it doesn't seem to have fully fixed it.
(We are running RC27 on Solaris 10)
