RE: [Dovecot] Dovecot failing silently on startup
Can you do an strace of a running dovecot process so we can get a better idea? (You ought to cc the list as well.)
Sorry for the slow reply, it's taken me a few days to get back to this and observe the problem again. I've placed a tarball of the output of "strace -ff -o dovecot dovecot" here:
http://rimu.tiddly-pom.com/dovecot-strace.tar.gz
To my (admittedly untrained) eye, it's looking for and not finding /etc/ld.so.nohwcap, and then repeatedly not finding /var/run/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat. At that point there is a /var/run/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat.tmp - is that where the SSL stuff is being generated?
Is it just that Dovecot is stalled until the ssl-parameters.dat file appears?
Thanks,
Julian.

I too must apologize for the delay in responding.

I've seen this symptom before. There is a problem with gnutls7 on certain architectures hppa and sparc for instance. Are you running one of those by any chance?
