hi all,
i've built
dovecot: Sep 09 18:04:24 Info: Dovecot v1.0-test80 starting upon OSX 10.4.2.
in addition to pgsql auth, which is working 4 me, i'd like to step-by-step verify simple passwd-file authentication/testing.
unfortunately, i'm having a problem with the login process NOT FINDING the ".../cur" dir.
here are the details ....
my config includes:
...
default_mail_env = maildir:/var/Data/Mail/%d/Accounts/%1u/%u/Maildir:INDEX=/var/Data/Mail/indexes/%d/%n ... auth default { mechanisms = plain userdb passwd-file {args = /var/Settings/Security/test_user_file} passdb passwd-file {args = /var/Settings/Security/test_user_file} ... } ...
my 'test_user_file' has a test user "testuser@testdomain.com" with an appropriately CRYPT'd pwd
% grep /var/Settings/Security/test_user_file testuser
testuser@mydomain.com:XXXXXXXXXX:65001:65001:/var/Data/Mail/mydomain.com/Accounts/t/testuser/Maildir::::when i login via telnet/shell, i get:
% telnet localhost 143
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK IMAP ready
x login testuser@mydomain.com testuser
x OK Logged in.
Connection closed by foreign host.and my log shows:

ignoring, for the moment the mbox 'complaints', and worrying first about the first:
dovecot: Sep 09 18:17:39 Info: imap(testuser@mydomain.com): maildir autodetect: stat($default_mail_env/cur) failed: No such file or directory
i'm a bit stymied ....
if i understand correctly, that:
autodetect: stat($default_mail_env/cur)is looking for: "/var/Data/Mail/mydomain.com/Accounts/t/testuser/Maildir/cur", which, on my system, exists:
% ls -d /var/Data/Mail/mydomain.com/Accounts/t/testuser/Maildir/cur
/var/Data/Mail/mydomain.com/Accounts/t/testuser/Maildir/curas i've had all this working fine with pgsql authentication, i have this sneaking suspicion that i'm missing something obvious here.
thoughts? suggestions?
thx!
