Hi to all,
We are a bit of newbes to imap etc, so may be we just not doing it
right. Nevertheless,
We have compiled dovecot to run under Solaris 8/9 for IPv6 test. We are going crazy.
After a successful compilation, the troubles really began.
Solaris 9
- Every´time we reboot- the directory /var/run/dovecot/auth is gone ????
- After the dir is created manually, the server starts.
However!!! 1. A telnet to host 143 connect to the server fine but no commands are accepted. The server simply returns "bad command" 2. If we try to connect via a e-mail client to the server - we get a login refused - which I suspect is simply the "bad command" error being interpreted as such.
We have tried every concivable combination of conf items in the conf file but nothing.
Solaris8
Just does not start.
Any help apprecialted
Ron

Hm. You've set auth_chroot then. Looks like I don't check that the directory exists, I'll fix that.

What commands did you try? IMAP commands are prefixed with a tag, so you'd need to do eg. "1 login user password".
- If we try to connect via a e-mail client to the server - we get a login refused - which I suspect is simply the "bad command" error being interpreted as such.
And this is probably because you set the auth_chroot, and the auth process can't read /etc/passwd (or whatever) when chrooted. So just comment out the auth_chroot line and it would probably work. If not, set auth_verbose = yes and see what it shows in log file.
