Since it's only dovecot-auth that crashes, doesn't Dovecot restart the process by itself?
Its odd that it would work for a while and then crash, is there some kind of remote exploit causing it to crash?
Probably LDAP code is just buggy in some situations when it's trying to reconnect to server..
It says core dumped, but I'm not sure where it would put the core.
/var/log/dovecot/ (or /usr/local/var/run/dovecot or wherever you set the prefix). Getting a gdb backtrace from it would be helpful.
Also, all of our stuff is LDAP. We dont talk to local passwd files at all. Is there a way I can run the dovecot-auth process as non root? I know there's an option in the config but i tried it and it did not seem to want to restart (the process).
Changing auth_user should work. What error does it give exactly then?
