I am running dovecot 0.99.10.4 on SuSE 9. I installed it using apt-get from the gwdg repository.
The dovecot service is configured to start at boottime in run level 3 and 5. However, it dies immediately with this error (/var/log/mail.err):
dovecot: Login process died too early - shutting down
Starting the service afterwords from a prompt as root with the command:
/etc/init.d/dovecot start
works without a glitch. Attached you can find my dovecot.conf and the startup script /etc/init.d/dovecot.
I hope someone could shed some light on this issue.
did you read the mail SuSEconfig sends to your root user? or read did you read /usr/share/doc/packages/dovecot/README.SuSE :) normally it is an SSL issue. but weird ssl is disabled on your box o.O
hmm .. do you get an error if you run "/usr/sbin/dovecot" directly as root?
