Hi, thanks to all suggestions, but it looks like the long username (35 letters) causes that problem, that just one out of about 1.000 users cant log in.
We shorted/changed the username to less than 35 letters and every thing is fine now.
dovecot-2.2.10-1_14.el5 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.10 CPU architecture x86_64 SMP Local Filesystem ext3 PAM authentication with ldap backend.
May be that's a bug? Or feature?

it should be a bug , until you did not go over the total max limit but you may look in ldap problems too, perhaps there is a limit too
Thanks for your feedback,
from that RFC Document it looks like we are save. 35 < 64 characters.
However, the problem is solved when WE change the users login name, so for curiosity: what has been changed in the dovecot code?
