I could'nt find where it is set the first time.

Amazing! It did'nt trigger any message!

Hmm. So, the login process doesn't seem to be connecting to dovecot-auth at all. Or at least not receiving anything from it.

But in that case this should happen:

• OK Waiting for authentication process to respond..

And you shouldn't be able to give any commands.

I am! Something like '. capability' works but not . login xxx yy Adn CAPABILTY doesn't report AUTH nor LOGIN Where are the sockets created and listen too and accepted

This really is with 1.0beta1? And Dovecot's logs don't show any errors? yes and no (it reports that plain is unsupported)

Would you like an access to my machine?

Thanks, this was UnixWare-specific problem but I did a couple of other fixes so it shouldn't anymore break this strangely in future. Many thanks. I've made progress... I've yet to find why it breaks twig.....

The real problem was that UNIX sockets were created as fifos by UnixWare, I should have thought of that, I had the same problem with proftp. I ass/u/me you call stat on the socket. SCO admits there's a bug here however they claim that fstat work in that case. I leave your account open for a while if you need unixware machine to test.

and Dovecot didn't find any authentication sockets to connect to. This has been fixed in CVS now, and I left a tarball in my home dir for a version that should work in UnixWare without any changes. Bear in mind that unixware needs sys/types.h and mkdev.h in compat.h

Many thanks again...
