Hello,

With dovecot running already, (accidently) starting another dovecot seems to break the authentication process of the first dovecot. Login will be impossible untill dovecot is restarted.

# dovecot Fatal: listen(143) failed: Address already in use

## Wait several seconds.

# telnet localhost 143 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'.

• OK Dovecot ready. 0: logout
• OK Waiting for authentication process to respond.. 0: logout
• OK Waiting for authentication process to respond..

-- Also, in the logfiles the following entries will appear:

Mar 26 12:11:21 virt6 dovecot: pop3-login: No authentication sockets found Mar 26 12:11:21 virt6 dovecot: child 38054 (login) returned error 89 Mar 26 12:11:23 virt6 dovecot: imap-login: No authentication sockets found Mar 26 12:11:23 virt6 dovecot: child 38058 (login) returned error 89
