[Dovecot] multiple auth-client sockets
Hi!
I'm gonna need to use dovecot's auth-client socket in an authentication program. Now the auth-client socket is only used by my MTA, which is postfix. Because postfix's smtpd process (which uses the auth-client socket) runs chrooted under postfix's spool directory, I must create the auth-client socket under that spool directory. However, to reach that socket from another chrooted program is impossible. Can I create multiple instances of auth-client sockets? I tried to define another client {} stanza in socket listen {} in dovecot.conf, but only the last client socket got created. I need only a true or false response from dovecot regarding the authentication, and I thought that this is exactly what auth-client socket will do. However, if I can not reach it, is there any alternative to this? What's up with the auth-master or auth-worker sockets? Are they capable of respond to an auth request too?
btw, I'm running dovecot-1.2.3
Thanks!
Daniel

I don't know. But if the answer is "No", you could try to bind-mount the socket to the second location.

socket listen { client { .. } } socket listen { client { .. } }

socket listen { client { .. } } socket listen { client { .. } } Marvelous, thanks!
