Dovecot died twice today. This was in the maillog:
Apr 9 17:50:27 ciscy pop3-login: RAND_bytes() failed: error:24064064:random number generator:SSLEAY_RAND_BYTES:PRNG not seeded Apr 9 17:50:27 ciscy dovecot: Login process died too early - shutting down
I think I can cause it to happen reliably and I'm asking for other to test this scenario:
Open several terminal windows. In each, type "telnet 127.0.0.1 110". Wait for the dovecot POP prompt and do nothing.
After each times out, up-arrow and try again. Sometime in the next hour, dovecot will die.
