Dear all,

few days ago I updated Debian to the latest stable and since then Dovecot is not working. I use Dovecot as LDA for Postfix and also for IMAP access. Also I used SASL and everything was ok before update. After I updated to Dovecot 2.1.7 (it used to be 1.x before) it looks like that e-mail delever is working but I can not configure IMAP access to work.

All users/passwords are stored as local users in /etc/passwd

When I tried to connect to imap log file shows:

Oct 12 22:16:16 seenet-mtp dovecot: auth-worker(24788): Debug: pam(user@mydomain.com,178.x.y.z): lookup service=dovecot Oct 12 22:17:16 seenet-mtp dovecot: auth: Error: auth worker: Aborted request: Lookup timed out

Also tested access opensasl clent and after I tried to log in I have received:

• OK Waiting for authentication process to respond.. tar NO [UNAVAILABLE] Temporary authentication failure. [seenet-mtp:2013-10-12 20:20:27]

doveconf -n

Please help, Milan
