Hello all, Trying an Install of Dovecot 1.0rc15. We have previously used 1.0b8 without too many troubles. starting Dovecot 1.0rc15 yields:

Dec 1 16:31:08 mailtest1 dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.rc15 starting up Dec 1 16:31:09 mailtest1 dovecot: pop3-login: Aborted login:
rip=172.30.0.3, lip=172.30.0.30 Dec 1 16:31:09 mailtest1 dovecot: Auth process died too early -
shutting down Dec 1 16:31:09 mailtest1 dovecot: auth(default): Socket already
exists: /var/run/dovecot/auth-client .. count = 10

Auth sockets are unfortunately incompatible with count > 1. Too large change to fix before v1.0. I don't think it worked in beta8 either?

That does appear to be the problem. However, as far as I can tell it
is working on our beta8 machines with count = 10.

Thanks! Kenny
