Hi, Dovecot (pre-compiled version of Fedora Core 1, configured for Maildir) is running fine for me since a few days. It happened now twice to me that dovecot died with the following error message in /var/log/maillog:
Feb 4 11:18:27 hundehuette imap-login: RAND_bytes() failed: error:24064064:random number generator:SSLEAY_RAND_BYTES:PRNG not seeded Feb 4 11:18:27 hundehuette dovecot: Login process died too early - shutting down
As these previous log messages indicate the login was working before without any problem: Feb 4 11:02:37 hundehuette imap-login: Login: andrea [192.168.2.138] Feb 4 11:05:56 hundehuette last message repeated 30 times Feb 4 11:09:02 hundehuette last message repeated 15 times Feb 4 11:12:08 hundehuette last message repeated 15 times Feb 4 11:15:15 hundehuette last message repeated 15 times Feb 4 11:18:21 hundehuette last message repeated 15 times Feb 4 11:18:26 hundehuette last message repeated 12 times
Dovecot is running as user "dovecot" who does not have a ~/.rnd file
Any idea?
Thanks, Christof
