Hello all,

I'm having some issues configuring dovecot 1.0.10 on a Solaris 10 box, that uses LDAP¨for its accounts.

The local accounts (in /etc/passwd) are authenticated properly and work as expected, but all accounts from the LDAP fail authentication.

Those are declared for the system using PAM and NSS (/etc/pam.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf are configured accordingly).

Currently, there are WU-IMAP and Qpopper installed and working, and neither of them needed any special configuration to use the login, they're just using Unix auth.

I tried various configurations, based on what I read in the wiki documentation, but nothing works, even the passwd userdb/passdb, which *should* if I understand correctly.

Trying to use PAM in dovecot fails, too.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong, or pointers to hints? Google returned little information about configuring Dovecot on Solaris, and none that was useful.

TIA,

Laurent

# /opt/csw/sbin/dovecot --version 1.0.10

Sample of failure in the dovecot logs:
