From dovecot.conf :
# Valid UID range for users, defaults to 500 and above. This is mostly # to make sure that users can't log in as daemons or other system users. # Note that denying root logins is hardcoded to dovecot binary and can't # be done even if first_valid_uid is set to 0. #first_valid_uid = 500 #last_valid_uid = 0

Have the following entries in dovecot.conf
auth_userdb = passwd-file /etc/dovecot-passdb auth_passdb = passwd-file /etc/dovecot-passdb
auth_user = dovecot
passwd-file is owned by user and group dovecot
When I try to log in .. I get
dovecot: Feb 19 16:41:30 Error: Logins with UID 0 not permitted (user echo) imap-login: Feb 19 16:41:30 Info: Internal login failure: echo [127.0.0.1] dovecot-auth: Feb 19 16:41:30 Info: Login process 12 disconnected
Any ideas ?
