Hi, All.
I've got a feeling it's a simple matter and it was discussed on this list (i've searched the archive) but still all answers i've found didn't solve this problem.
We want to move from UW-IMAP to dovecot, when users INBOX is /var/mail/USER_NAME and his folders are ~USER_NAME/mail/. In addition the host is an FTP server that uses chrooting in order to prevent users from accessing files outside their home directories. Our /etc/passwd line looks like this: some_user:x:1234:123:Some User:/home/./some_user:/bin/shell
When i try to check mail on this host with this user i receive the following error message:
Dec 1 08:21:11 server dovecot: [ID 935345 mail.error] Invalid chroot directory '/home' (user some_user) (see valid_chroot_dirs in config file)
After which comes a line with: "Internal login failure"
I've tried to configure different chroot options in configuration file, but had no luck at all. Of course when i remove the "." from passwd line everything works great (except FTP:).
I'm using 1.0 alpha 4 on Solaris 9.
Please let me know if you have such setup and what is the exact setting i need to add to configuration.
Thanks in Advance, Greg
