OK, I guess those perms are probably right. Is /var mounted rw during your "run level 3" ? I know nothing about SUSE.

Hi,
What exactly do you mean with this? These are the permissions of the /var/run/dovecot/login directory: drwxr-x--- 2 root dovecot 72 Mar 23 00:20 login

Does dovecot-auth have permissions to /var/run/dovecot/login during boot time?

Hi,
I am running dovecot 0.99.10.4 on SuSE 9. I installed it using apt-get from the gwdg repository.
The dovecot service is configured to start at boottime in run level 3 and 5. However, it dies immediately with this error (/var/log/mail.err):
dovecot: Login process died too early - shutting down
Starting the service afterwords from a prompt as root with the command:
/etc/init.d/dovecot start
works without a glitch. Attached you can find my dovecot.conf and the startup script /etc/init.d/dovecot.
I hope someone could shed some light on this issue.
