Hi,

I have a lot of problems to compile or to run the dovecot on my OpenSUSE 10.3 x86_64.

Sometimes the compiled binary cannot read the existing and running config, the dovecot -n results in:

ian:/opt/src/build/dovecot-1.1.rc7 # /opt/dovecot/sbin/dovecot -n # 1.1.rc7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf Error: Missing auth section for server default Fatal: Invalid configuration in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

The prebuild RPM-daemon (v 10.0.13) said:

ian:/opt/src/build/dovecot-1.1.rc7 # dovecot -n # 1.0.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf listen: *:8088 ssl_listen: *:10943 ssl_disable: yes ssl_cert_file: /etc/exim/www.foo-bar.de.crt ssl_key_file: /etc/exim/www.foo-bar.de.key disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /opt/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/imap-login first_valid_uid: 98 mail_location: maildir:~/maildir mail_executable: /opt/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/imap auth default: passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf

This looks fine and right, but there is no access to my old maildir (created by courier-imap) and I found several entries like this in my maillog:

May 27 19:13:54 ian dovecot: IMAP(tkstest@foor-bar.de): Unexpected eof found when reading file 'UNOPENED' (Errcode: 0)

or:

Any ideas?
