[Dovecot] PAM authentication problem: MD5 vs crypt
by bhayden＠umn.edu 23 Sep '06

23 Sep '06

Here's a strange one. I have Dovecot set up on Solaris 9. The auth portion of the config is straight out of the box. Using PAM. We have most users in a dbm file which is just a series of key/value pairs: key is a username, and value is a string equivalent to a shadow entry. nsswitch.conf entry: passwd files dbm. For historical reasons, some users have a classic 13-character Unix crypt password hash, while others have a 34-character MD5 hash. Here's the situation: User location pw Hash Auth succeeds/fails ---------------------------------------------- files crypt succeeds dbm crypt succeeds files MD5 succeeds dbm MD5 FAILS After two days of research, trussing, and etc, I am stumped. Does anyone have a thought? -Brian

[Dovecot] Missing Mailbox
by Nick 23 Sep '06

23 Sep '06

Hi List, I'm setting up a new Dovecot server and am having some issues getting Dovecot to see the mailbox correctly. I already have several mailboxes (From another Dovecot server) but my new install does not see them. I'm running Ubuntu 6.06 w/ Dovecot 1.0.beta3. When I try to login, I get the following in the log. Sep 23 15:11:55 nibiru dovecot: auth(default): client out: CONT^I1^I Sep 23 15:11:55 nibiru dovecot: auth-worker(default): sql(nick(a)mogmail.net, 192.168.0.129): query: SELECT password FROM users WHERE email = ' nick(a)mogmail.net' Sep 23 15:11:55 nibiru dovecot: auth(default): client in: CONT<hidden> Sep 23 15:11:55 nibiru dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK^I1^Iuser= nick(a)mogmail.net Sep 23 15:11:55 nibiru dovecot: auth-worker(default): sql(nick(a)mogmail.net, 192.168.0.129): SELECT CONCAT('/srv/mail/','mogmail.net','/nick') AS home, '5000' AS uid, '5000' AS gid FROM users u, domains d WHERE u.email='nick(a)mogmail.net' AND d.domain='mogmail.net' Sep 23 15:11:55 nibiru dovecot: auth(default): master in: REQUEST^I2^I7117^I1 Sep 23 15:11:55 nibiru dovecot: auth(default): master out: USER^I2^Inick(a)mogmail.net ^Ihome=/srv/mail/mogmail.net/nick^Iuid=5000^Igid=5000 Sep 23 15:11:55 nibiru dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<nick(a)mogmail.net>, method=plain, rip=192.168.0.129, lip=192.168.0.2 I'm concerned about the "^I" appearing all over the place. My config is below. Does anyone know what's happening? Thanks, Nick # cat dovecot.conf protocols = imap disable_plaintext_auth = no auth_verbose = yes auth_debug = yes auth default { mechanisms = plain userdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf } passdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf } } # cat dovecot-sql.conf driver = mysql connect = host=localhost dbname=maildb user=postfix password=secret default_pass_scheme = CRYPT password_query = SELECT password FROM users WHERE email = '%u' user_query = SELECT CONCAT('/srv/mail/','%d','/%n') AS home, '5000' AS uid, '5000' AS gid FROM users u, domains d WHERE u.email='%u' AND d.domain='%d'

[Dovecot] most of INBOX missing?
by William Lott 22 Sep '06

22 Sep '06

Greetings. I'm having an issue with dovecot that I'm hoping that someone can help me with. Most of the mail in my INBOX has mysteriously disappeared and I'd like to get it back. It's all in the ~/Maildir/cur directory and dovecot reports that 1048 messages exist when given the SELECT imap command. But Thunderbird and the SEARCH imap command only list 25 messages: [wlott@rootbeer ~]$ ls Maildir/cur | wc -l 1048 [wlott@rootbeer ~]$ MAIL=maildir:~/Maildir /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap * PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SORT THREAD=REFERENCES MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT IDLE CHILDREN LISTEXT LIST-SUBSCRIBED NAMESPACE] Logged in as wlott x SELECT INBOX * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft NonJunk $MDNSent $Label1 $Forwarded Junk) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft NonJunk $MDNSent $Label1 $Forwarded Junk \*)] Flags permitted. * 1048 EXISTS * 0 RECENT * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1117080198] UIDs valid * OK [UIDNEXT 1700] Predicted next UID x OK [READ-WRITE] Select completed. x SEARCH ALL * SEARCH 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 x OK Search completed. [wlott@rootbeer ~]$ I'm running dovecot version 0.99.14-8 under Fedora Core 4. I saw on the dovecot website that 0.99 isn't supported anymore, but I'm hoping that someone can help me recover my lost email none the less. Thanks, -William
