Re: [Dovecot] Login user doesn't exist: dovecot

Do you have a "dovecot" account in /etc/passwd?. It needs to be an unprivileged local user.

After completely trashing my system a few days ago, I now have FC4 running, and have compiled dovecot-1.-beta1. Everything is placed in a different place from the debian install, so it's possible that I have a path problem.

Attempting to start dovecot in a root console brings up the line

Login user doesn't exist: dovecot

Advice, please?
