Hi all,
I can't login.
This is a dovecot server for a small inhouse network, and I doon't use any encryption, and just want to login using the standard Linux login
dovecot status gives me the following error messages:
un 12 12:30:06 ulmke2 dovecot[5814]: auth: Fatal: APOP mechanism can't be supported with given passdbs Jun 12 12:30:06 ulmke2 dovecot[5811]: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling for 32 secs Jun 12 12:30:06 ulmke2 dovecot[5814]: imap-login: Disconnected: Auth process broken (disconnected before auth was ready, waited 10 secs): user=<>, rip=192.168.100.29, lip=192.168.100.2, session=<qXOLWW9uBNPAqGQd> Jun 12 12:30:06 ulmke2 dovecot[5814]: imap-login: Warning: Timeout leak: 0x7fa8a7d372a0 (auth-server-connection.c:397) Jun 12 12:30:16 ulmke2 dovecot[5814]: imap-login: Warning: Auth process not responding, delayed sending initial response (greeting): user=<>, rip=192.168.100.29, lip=192.168.100.2, session=<pw8lWm9uBtPAqGQd> Jun 12 12:30:36 ulmke2 dovecot[5814]: imap-login: Error: Timeout waiting for handshake from auth server. my pid=5874, input bytes=0 Jun 12 12:30:36 ulmke2 dovecot[5814]: imap-login: Disconnected: Auth process broken (disconnected before auth was ready, waited 30 secs): user=<>, rip=192.168.100.29, lip=192.168.100.2, session=<pw8lWm9uBtPAqGQd> Jun 12 12:30:38 ulmke2 dovecot[5814]: auth: Error: stats: open(old-stats-user) failed: Permission denied Jun 12 12:30:38 ulmke2 dovecot[5814]: auth: Fatal: APOP mechanism can't be supported with given passdbs Jun 12 12:30:38 ulmke2 dovecot[5811]: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling for 60 secs
I'm moving to a new server.
stats: open(old-stats-user) failed: Permission denied
This file may be somewhere on the old server.
Can anyone help me?

Wait, you have removed
passdb { driver = pam }
from your configuration? That's the wrong part. Strip down auth_mechanisms to the mechanism(s) you really want to support and use. Forget about apop and use plain.
And and SSL configuration is incomplete.

Depends on what you which "standard" you mean but I'll just assume you're using PAM, as suggested by your config.

Looks like you did a kitchen sink configuration in hopes something will work, but it's probably interfering. Just "plain" and "login" is fine.
passdb { driver = pam }
I don't use PAM, but it looks like you may be a few parameters short. Did you install pam/dovecot config?

this is driving me mad. I still can't login.
I started with a fresh doveconfig directory and implemented the sufǵgestions in the above Document.
Now doveconfig -n gives me:

You've chopped off the most import part at the end: the reason why it could not open the IMAP port. Nevertheless, I fed this fragment into Google and got
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=873188but it's a wild guess if it has anything to do with your problem.

Right, the problem here is more basic. Once you get over this, you can move forward to success or the next problem.
