Hello,

I ran into problems to get Dovecot running on FreeBSD. Steps for reproduction.

Start Docot with dovecot -F (same result if started by rc script)

telnet 192.168.116.38 110 Trying 192.168.116.38... Connected to freebsd. Escape character is '^]'. -ERR Disconnected: Auth process broken Connection closed by foreign host.

logfile shows following:

May 22 11:41:24 freebsd dovecot: master: Dovecot v2.2.18 starting up for imap, pop3, lmtp, sieve May 22 11:41:27 freebsd dovecot: auth: Error: auth: environment corrupt; missing value for DOVECOT_ May 22 11:41:27 freebsd dovecot: auth: Fatal: unsetenv(RESTRICT_SETUID) failed: Bad address May 22 11:41:27 freebsd dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling for 2 secs May 22 11:41:27 freebsd dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected: Auth process broken (disconnected before auth was ready, waited 1 secs): user=<>, rip=192.168.116.1, lip=192.168.116.38, session=<cBLNdqgWWADAqHQB> May 22 11:41:32 freebsd dovecot: master: Warning: Killed with signal 2 (by pid=0 uid=0 code=kernel)

Error message is quite meaningless regarding reason for crash.

I am running same config on a Linux (Debian 8) host w/o problems. Is it a problem specific to FreeBSD?
