Hi,
Taking a stab at getting OSX Server 10.2.4 running Dovecot -- with a minor tweak of replacing lchown() with chown() in the src/lib/sakfe-mkdir.c, it compiled and installed without any problems.
However, oddness in authentication. It works once, but only once. I'm trying to use pam and have the following:
auth required pam_securityserver.so auth sufficient pam_unix.so account required pam_unix.so
In the dovecot.conf I have (amongst other things):
auth_userdb = passwd auth_passdb = pam
I start up dovecot and do:
Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'.
- OK dovecot ready. . login scott pass . OK Logged in. . logout
- BYE Logging out . OK Logout completed.
No problem.
However, try it again and:
Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'.
- OK dovecot ready. . login scott pass . NO Authentication failed. . logout
- BYE Logging out . OK Logout completed.
Perhaps there's a better way to get dovecot playing under osx; I'd tried a number of ways of using pam, but perhaps there's a magic other option I've not got working yet. I do run the password server and my account name is using that as per the Workgroup Manager's settings (as opposed to Basic)...
Any thoughts appreciated!
Scott
