This .src.rpm is dovecot with RH-specific default settings. I modified Jeremy Katz' dovecot-0.99.8.1 package a bit.

I ran into and fixed a few packaging problems listed below, but the last two I'm not exactly sure how to fix. Any suggestions?

One problem within /etc/init.d/dovecot

start() { # Check if pxe is already running if [ ! -f /var/lock/subsys/dovecot ]; then echo -n $"Starting $prog: " /usr/sbin/dovecot & [ -n "pidofproc /usr/sbin/dovecot" ] && success RETVAL=$? [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/dovecot echo fi }

This line "/usr/sbin/dovecot &" executes in the background, but the next line "[ -n "pidofproc /usr/sbin/dovecot" ] && success" happens too soon, causing a non zero return value and a FAILED message during bootup. I confirmed this by adding "sleep 5" between the two lines, giving it enough time to startup completely before testing for the pid. It no displays the fake FAILED message during bootup. What should be the proper fix for this?

RH init script problem

Another problem happens during RH's init scripts after you reboot. By default dovecot uses /var/run/dovecot/login/ as a directory to create unix sockets for login. RH's init script displays an error messages when I tries to remove /var/run/*/* files because it is a directory, not a file. I changed dovecot's default to /var/run/dovecot and it now avoids this error.

chkconfig problem

[root@goku log]# chkconfig --list |grep dovecot dovecot 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off [root@goku log]# chkconfig dovecot on [root@goku log]# chkconfig --list |grep dovecot dovecot 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off The init.d and rc.d stuff seems to have problems, I haven't analyzed this yet.

Service name problem

During startup it says "5dovecot: Starting Dovecot Imap:" I'm not sure why it says "5dovecot" rather than "dovecot". Any ideas?
