[Dovecot] Dovecot Problem
Every 2 or 3 days dovecot will not allow me to log into my IMAP server.
It keeps requesting my username and password. If I do a
/etc/init.d/dovecot restart it will start working again for a few days.
I have dovecot set up to use Maildir.
Dovecot Version: Not sure but it is the one that comes with Ubuntu 9.04 OS: Ubuntu 9.04 CPU: x86 Filesystem: Local EXT4 Dovecot Config:
# 1.1.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.28-11-server i686 Ubuntu 9.04 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd

Set auth_debug=yes and look at what the logs say when it re-requests
the password.
I am getting the following error in the mail.err log
pam_start() failed: Critical error - immediate abort
This is with an IMAP connection.

Set this to non-zero:
# Number of auth requests to handle before destroying the process.
This may
# be useful if PAM plugins leak memory.
#auth_worker_max_request_count = 0
