[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0 and BSDI 4.X
All right, I am trying to migrating to 2.0 but running into problems.

telneting into the ports work, but
the clients seem to stuck in an infinite loop.

I'm not really sure about this.. This still happens with the above change? Anything else logged before it? Do you even have anvil process?
listen = * .. service imap-login { inet_listener imaps { address = 204.209.81.1 }
Better to set the address in the listen setting instead of explicitly for different inet_listeners.

Seems for like porting bugs.
Easy to fix.

NOt certain.

Yes, the anvil process is a postfix process.

Had to resort back to inet_listener .
Question how is the auth process handled in 2 that differs from 1?
Because in Dovecot 1 I had
auth_executable = /usr/contrib/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-auth
and in Dovecot 2 I have
executable = /usr/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/auth

Wind River discontinued BSD/OS (BSDi) in 2003, 7 years ago. This version of BSDi "The Doctor" is running thus hasn't seen a patch for _at least_ 7 years. Seven year old gcc environment? No wonder things don't work.
Is there any real legitimate reason either of you are wasting your time with trying to make Dovecot work on a 7+ year old _DEAD_ operating system?
Why haven't you moved this box up to the latest version of FreeBSD or OpenBSD?

Looks like even I woke up my FreeBSD 4.0 today, Timo would be willing to help me make Dovecot 2.0 run on it.
I think it's something to do with these hard core programmers. They never see failure as an option!
This BSD/OS fellow really need to run something else. 7 year old OS - it's like running Windows (spit!) 95 in 2010.

If making Dovecot run on some specific OS requires only a few changes, I'll do it. Doesn't matter how old it is. But if it's starting to look like it would require larger changes, then I'll probably forget about it..

Well, in my opinion, if the BSD people have all ready abandoned it, it is probably time for you to do so also. With FreeBSD-8.1 officially released, continued use of a deprecate OS makes no sense at all, assuming that the OP knows how to upgrade his installation. If he doesn't, then that is a whole new ballgame.

Yes, the anvil process is a postfix process.
Dovecot has its own anvil process too (yeah, I stole the name from Postfix).

Had to resort back to inet_listener .

Because in Dovecot 1 I had
auth_executable = /usr/contrib/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-auth
and in Dovecot 2 I have
executable = /usr/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/auth
Only the binary name changed from dovecot-auth to auth.

I am just wondering what else has changed?
IT seems that the authentication is caught in a non-ending loop.

Why does it seem that? What exactly does it say now log when starting up? Does it answer/log anything when telneting to port 143?
