Hi all,
storing e-mails (using postfix) via dovecot-lda fails and I assume this is related with a auth_socket configuration problem. But I am at a dead end, so perhaps anybody has got a hint for me:
This is dovecot-2.0.8 on Solaris 10:
10-auth.conf and its include:
... userdb { driver = static args = uid=104 gid=104 home=/some/path/%u }
Relevant parts of 10-mail.conf:
... auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb
Relevant parts of 10-master.conf:
...service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0644 user = vmail #group = } }
service auth-worker { user = root }
Relevant parts of 15-lda.conf:
... protocol lda { # Space separated list of plugins to load (default is global mail_plugins). #mail_plugins = $mail_plugins }
# ls -l /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb srw-r--r-- 1 vmail root 0 Jan 12 15:49 /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb
Using dovecot-lda for mail delivery or doveadm for user inquirement fails:
via debug_log_path:
Jan 12 16:04:14 auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /dovecot/code/dovecot-2.0.8/lib/dovecot/auth Jan 12 16:04:14 auth: Debug: passwd-file /store1/db/masterusers.passwd: Read 1 users Jan 12 16:04:14 auth: Debug: master in: USER 1 djahnke service=lda Jan 12 16:04:14 auth: Debug: password(djahnke): passdb doesn't support credential lookups Jan 12 16:04:14 auth: Debug: master out: FAIL 1 Jan 12 16:04:14 lda: Debug: auth input:
via syslog:
Jan 12 16:04:14 deliver1 dovecot: [ID 583609 local0.error] auth: Error: static(djahnke): passdb doesn't support lookups, can't verify user's existence Jan 12 16:04:14 deliver1 dovecot: [ID 583609 local0.error] lda: Error: user djahnke: Auth USER lookup failed Jan 12 16:04:14 deliver1 dovecot: [ID 583609 local0.crit] lda: Fatal: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information.
When I use "allow_all_users=yes" everything works fine, so I think somehow the communication with the socket fails. I cannot see what I have missed :-(
Any suggestions what I should look for / configure ?
Any help appreciated, cheers, Drik
