I am trying to run Dovecot on RH 7.3 with Linux kernel 2.4.20 + GrSecurity patch. I downloaded the RPM yesterday and installed it.
When I start Dovecot the kernel reports: kernel: grsec: From 192.168.1.22: attempt to overstep process limit by (dovecot:14491) UID(0) EUID(0), parent (dovecot:23872) UID(0) EUID(0)
I thought v0.99.9 fixed this.. Unless grsec checks it now while trying to set the limit.
