Hello!
I recently compiled dovecot 0.99.7 on a FreeBSD 4.3 server, and have been having problems with logging in and password authentication.
a. I can't seem to get it to compile MD5 support -- it only seems to support plain, plain-file, and pam.
b. Whenever I try to log in, I always get something along the following lines in /var/log/messages ....
Jan 16 17:52:15 akira imap-login: close(master) failed: Bad file descriptor Jan 16 17:55:33 akira imap-auth: Userinfo pam doesn't support DIGEST-MD5 method Jan 16 18:08:28 akira imap-master: Login process died too early - shutting down
(I also included one about MD5 in there too! :-))
Basically, the imap-login process is dying every time I try to do a login from a remote machine (I've tried Evolution and Outlook Express ....) I've tried telling it to use port 143 and port 993 (where it correctly generates a warning about a certificate that it can't verify, since i created that certificate with mkcert.sh )
Is there something I haven't configured correctly? The only things I've changed in dovecot.conf are:
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Marc.
