Hi

I have some problemes when dovecot read it's config file dovecot.conf

My config is :

Linux distribution : Arch Linux 0.7.2 Gimmick UNDER VMware session (VMware workstation version 5.5.2build 29772) Linux kernel version 2.6.17 Dovecot version 1.0.rc17 GCC version 4.1.1

Using the 'dovecot-example.conf' as dovecot.conf =>

When Dovecot si compiled with : --with-file-offset-size=32 The Dovecot message is : Missing auth section for server default When Dovecot si compiled with : --with-file-offset-size=64 The Dovecot message is : Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot.conf line 746: Expecting '='

Can someone help me please?

IIRC something like this could happen if pread() implementation was broken. After configure remove HAVE_PREAD from config.h, recompile and see if it works. Arch Linux apparently uses uclibc? I think this is broken in it. Don't know if anyone has tried telling them to fix it.
