For several day’s now I’ve been attempting to get Dovecot working, but without much success so far. I’ve compiled both 0.99.14 and the latest 1.0 stable version with mysql support, which seems to be working for the 0.99.14. Unfortunately version 1.0 stable wont start and quits with this:
dovecot: Jun 13 16:44:47 Error: child 27346 (auth) killed with signal 11
I think this was because of some missing or wrong setting that I fixed in 1.0-test but not in 1.0-stable.. Could you get gdb backtrace of this crash so I can finally fix it? :) The core file should have been written to /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/core (or wherever your Dovecot's base_dir is). So:
gdb /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-auth /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/core bt
BYE Internal login failure. Error report written to server log.
Your logs didn't show the error though, that's a bit strange. Usually it's anyway about the given uid or gid being too low (first_valid_uid, first_valid_gid settings). Those errors should have been written to the log though.
