Trying to get dovecot up and running.
I managed to get everything compiled and linked correctly, but there seems to be some problem with either the auth process or communication between the main process and the auth process.
When I try to login, I get:
- OK dovecot ready. 1 login n9yty testing
- OK Waiting for authentication process to respond..
And I keep getting the same message over and over until eventually it dies if I let it sit:
- BYE Disconnected for inactivity.
In the log, all I see is:
dovecot: Feb 05 02:24:46 Info: Dovecot starting up imap-login: Feb 05 02:32:46 Info: Disconnected: Inactivity [127.0.0.1]
I have this in my config, but yet that is all the logging I see:
auth_userdb = passwd auth_passdb = shadow auth_verbose = yes auth_debug = yes
I then tried to do ./configure with --enable-debug, but if I do that I get this in the log when trying to run dovecot:
dovecot: Feb 05 02:08:01 Info: Dovecot starting up dovecot: Feb 05 02:08:03 Error: Auth process died too early - shutting down dovecot: Feb 05 02:08:03 Error: child 8441 (login) killed with signal 6 dovecot: Feb 05 02:08:03 Error: child 8440 (auth) killed with signal 6
(sometimes the (login) line is not send, but always (auth))
Any thoughts on where to next start tracking this down? I tried to use test62, but get this (haven't dug much further into this one since I'd like a stable release for this application):
main.c: In function listen_protocols': main.c:284: error: structure has no member named
_listen'
main.c: At top level:
