Hi Alex,

Are you using Solaris 9 native ldap? What configure options did you use when building dovecot? I'm using OpenLDAP, but I think it's a pam rather than ldap problem. Dovecot check for the existance of a user alright, but fails when checking the password.

My build script is enclosed.

Cheers

 Benjamin
