Hi,

I'm testing dovecot 2.1.0, on Debian 6.0, with "passdb driver = imap" and SASL for postfix's SMTP-Auth, like explained ih this howto: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL

Authentications over IMAP (local dovecot -> remote dovecot) works fine, and it's great. Also smtp-auth on postfix (over SASL) works fine. But in the dovecot log I found this error:

Feb 19 11:11:42 demo-vpop dovecot: auth: Fatal: master: service(auth): child 30506 killed with signal 11 (core dumps disabled)

even though all works fine.

This is my dovecot configuration:

# 2.1.0: dovecot.conf-imapc # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 x86_64 Debian 6.0.4 auth_mechanisms = plain login default_login_user = nobody imapc_host = 10.0.0.1 mail_gid = imapproxy mail_home = /home/imapproxy/%u mail_location = imapc:~/imapc mail_uid = imapproxy passdb { args = host=10.0.0.1 default_fields = userdb_imapc_user=%u userdb_imapc_password=%w driver = imap } protocols = imap service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } ssl = no userdb { driver = prefetch }

But if instead of "unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth" I use:

service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { } inet_listener { port = 12345 } }

no errors appears in the log. In both cases all works fine.

Is there any errors in my dovecot's configuration?
