Hi, I'm having problems accessing home directories though NFS. This setup uses LDAP and Kerberos. Users defined on the local host work fine. This is what dovecot writes in the logs while trying to log in as the user johndoe:
Mar 19 14:10:54 jack dovecot-auth: nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server... Mar 19 14:10:54 jack dovecot-auth: nss_ldap: reconnected to LDAP server after 1 attempt(s) Mar 19 14:10:54 jack imap-login: Login: johndoe [10.0.0.30] Mar 19 14:10:54 jack dovecot: chdir(/home/johndoe) failed: Permission denied Mar 19 14:10:54 jack dovecot: child 3525 (imap) returned error 89
The authentication is OK, but dovecot fails to get access to the home directory. What username does dovecot try to chdir() as?
If I 'su' from to that user I have access to /home/johndoe, and a quick test with Courier IMAP worked fine. Postfix has no problem delivering mail in the users maildir using procmail.
Some relevant config options:
default_mail_env = maildir:~/mail:INDEX=/var/indexes/%n auth_userdb = passwd auth_passdb = pam auth_user = root
Problem solved, I guess...
I recompiled from source and just replaced the dovecot binary in /usr/sbin. Trying to do 'rpmbuild -tb' and install the resulting rpm rendered everything unusable, but I guess that's just a matter of tweaking some options to 'configure'.
What's the difference between the Fedora Core 1 version (0.99.10-6) and the latest stable version (0.99.10.4)?
