[Dovecot] dies on start-up: Auth process
by Tom Allison 04 Nov '03

04 Nov '03

I was digging through some of the archives and ran into someone who was having the same problem, but for completely different reasons....i think. dovecot: Nov 02 07:58:51 Info: Dovecot starting up dovecot: Nov 02 07:58:52 Error: Auth process died too early - shutting down dovecot: Nov 02 07:58:52 Error: child 27673 (login) killed with signal 11 dovecot: Nov 02 07:58:52 Error: child 27672 (login) killed with signal 11 dovecot: Nov 02 07:58:52 Error: child 27671 (login) killed with signal 11 dovecot: Nov 02 07:58:52 Error: child 27670 (auth) killed with signal 11 So I took the advice posted and ran 'strace dovecot' and this is what I got. Unfortunately I'm not exactly good enough with this to even know what I'm looking at. But I suspect the notation about "/dev/null" might have something to do with it. my user, dovecot as a shell of /bin/bash and a $HOME of /usr/local/lib/dovecot By all rights, he's almost a regular user, except that his UID is <100 (I built user:dovecot as a system uid under SuSE 8.2) open("/var/run/dovecot/", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3 fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 close(3) = 0 lstat64("/var/run/dovecot/", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 open(".", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3 open("/var/run/dovecot//login", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE|O_NOFOLLOW) = 4 fchdir(4) = 0 open("/dev/null", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY) = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a directory) open(".", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY) = 6 fstat64(6, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0750, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 fcntl64(6, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 brk(0) = 0x8061000 brk(0x8062000) = 0x8062000 getdents64(6, /* 2 entries */, 4096) = 48 getdents64(6, /* 0 entries */, 4096) = 0 close(4) = 0 close(6) = 0 fchdir(3) = 0 close(3) = 0 geteuid32() = 0 lstat64("/var/run/dovecot//login", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0750, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 open("/var/run/dovecot//login", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3 fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0750, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 close(3) = 0 lstat64("/var/run/dovecot//login", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0750, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 access("/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-auth", X_OK) = 0 open("/dev/null", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3 fcntl64(3, F_GETFD) = 0 fcntl64(3, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 dup(3) = 4 fcntl64(4, F_GETFD) = 0 fcntl64(4, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 6 setsockopt(6, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0 setsockopt(6, SOL_SOCKET, SO_KEEPALIVE, [1], 4) = 0 bind(6, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(143), sin_addr=inet_addr("0.0.0.0")}, 16) = 0 getsockname(6, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(143), sin_addr=inet_addr("0.0.0.0")}, [16]) = 0 listen(6, 8) = 0 fcntl64(6, F_SETFL, O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK) = 0 fcntl64(6, F_GETFD) = 0 fcntl64(6, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 dup(4) = 7 fcntl64(7, F_GETFD) = 0 fcntl64(7, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 dup(4) = 8 fcntl64(8, F_GETFD) = 0 fcntl64(8, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 dup(4) = 9 fcntl64(9, F_GETFD) = 0 fcntl64(9, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 dup2(4, 0) = 0 dup2(4, 1) = 1 dup2(4, 2) = 2 fork() = 27706 exit_group(0) = ?

A little more information: This bug results in Mozilla and pine never rendering the message, since dovecot lies about how much data was really sent, as seen in the following log in which only 394 bytes (rather than the 10240 dovecot is claiming to send) are returned: ---- 8 UID fetch 94 (UID RFC822.SIZE BODY[]<10240.10240>) * 24 FETCH (UID 94 RFC822.SIZE 20873 BODY[]<10240> {10240} G SRC="/world/image/nav/contents_bottom.gif" WIDTH="49" HEIGHT="15" BORDER="0" VSPACE="10"></A></TD></TR></TABLE>  <script type="text/javascript"> if(parent.frames.length>0&&!isContents) top.location.replace(document.location) </script> </BODY> </HTML>  --------------010405000308030207040500-- ) 8 OK Fetch completed. ---- Matt

[Dovecot] Debian bug #201444: More verbose logging
by Jaldhar H. Vyas 03 Nov '03

03 Nov '03

I brought this up a while ago but the submitter is wondering if there has been any progress on this issue. He says: It would be extremely nice to have a little bit more detailed logging, and I believe it doesn't really require that much code. I use now a daemon which logs login (name, ip; as dovecot does), and logout (with name, logout reason if any special) with the numbers of "read new mail number and size" and "mail left on server number and size". Would be nice to have something like that in dovecot. Could something like this be added for the next version? -- Jaldhar H.

[Dovecot] Problems finding information on passwd-file
by David A. Desrosiers 03 Nov '03

03 Nov '03

I've recently converted over to dovecot to uw-imap, and am having a heck of a time trying to find actual docs that describe how to set up virtual users properly without using ldap or posgres.. Basically I need to know what goes in auth_userdb and auth_passdb for a system with *NO* local user accounts in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow. I will only create mbox files for these users in /var/mail/%u and alternately a home directory where they can store their own mail folders under /home/%u. How can I do this, given the current dovecot codebase? I've googled for a few hours, talked to many people on irc, and checked the mailing lists (of what I could find) related to this, and found nothing whatsoever describing how to achive this. Dovecot apparently supports "virtual users", but I can't find any supporting documentation that describes exactly HOW to set that up. Thanks in advance. d.

We should not conceal aspects of our faith so as to avoid criticism or disapproval, and we should not ask others to do that. We believe it is just and loving to point out publicly the errors of other faiths, provided this is done with sufficient evidence that the sacred writings or representative spokesmen of those faiths do indeed express these errors. We must strive not to misrepresent other faiths, as that is not only disrespectful but also undermining of our own credibility.<P> 2. We should acknowledge our sin and desperate need of salvation by a crucified and risen Savior, and not posture ourselves as worthy of salvation as if we had superior intellect or wisdom or goodness. We are beggars who have, by grace, found the life-giving bread of truth, forgiveness, and joy. As we expose the errors of other religions, we should feel and express sorrow and compassion for those who do not embrace Christ so as to be saved.<P> 3. We should not expect a fair fight in a secular world that is hostile to God and uncomfortable around the truth of Christ. Therefore, our response to abuse, distortion, or slander should not be angry resentment, but patient witness to the truth, in the hope and with the prayer that returning good for evil may open hearts to the truth. We must recognize that persecution is normal and that much of the protection Christians have in America is abnormal in history and in the world. Our witness will be best advanced by kind, steadfast statements and reasonable defenses of the truth.<P> 4. We should renounce all violence as a means of spreading our faith. Christians spread biblical faith by suffering, not by causing suffering. Authentic Christianity cannot be coerced by force or manipulation. We should acknowledge and proclaim that Christ will, at his personal appearing, punish those who have rejected him; his violence at the end of the age is a decisive reason we should not and may not exert violence against anyone because of his beliefs. This is Christ's right, not ours.<P> 5. We believe that God has given to civil government, not individuals or the church, the duty to bear the sword for justice and safety. Civil authorities should not punish beliefs, but some behaviors rooted in beliefssuch as killing, assault, or theftmay be outside the law and therefore punishable by the civil authority. Which behaviors are legally prohibited in a society based on freedom of belief and religion will be determined in a process of persuasion, debate, and election of representative lawmakers, with checks and balances provided by the executive and judicial branches and by constitutional safeguards for the rights of minorities.<P> 6. We should distinguish between a just war of defense against aggression and a religious war against people because of their beliefs. We should acknowledge that this distinction will probably not be recognized by certain religions that define their beliefs to include the right of cultural domination by force. But we should insist on this distinction rather than accept the claim of aggressors that our resistance is a religious attack on their faith. We should argue that the ground of such national defense is the civil right to freedom (of religion and speech and press and assembly), not disapproval of the religion underlying the attack.<P> 7. We should distinguish between the right to express criticism of erroneous beliefs and sinful behaviors, on the one hand, and the false inference some draw from this criticism that proponents of the criticized beliefs can therefore legitimately be mistreated. We also should not accept the claim that being criticized or denounced as mistaken or as sinners is a form of mistreatment. It is not a crime (hate crime or otherwise) to say publicly that someone's belief is wrong and harmful, or to call someone's behavior sinful and destructive. A necessary part of all debate concerning beliefs, behaviors, or proposals is the argument that some are wrong, ill-founded, and have deleterious effects.<P> 8. We believe that every religion, worldview, or philosophy of life may freely endeavor to influence and shape our culture. We renounce the use of force or bribery or deceit in this culture-shaping effort. We affirm preaching the gospel, publishing truth, and modeling love and justice, as well as prayer, persuasion, and participation in the political process. We recognize that all laws "impose" some group's behavioral conviction on all, so it is not a compelling criticism to say that a law that governs behavior is bad because it "imposes someone's morality" on society. It is therefore particularly vital to support principles, laws, and policies that protect the legal freedoms of minorities that do not have the numbers to sway lawmaking processes.<P> These principles are further developed at the website http://www.desiringgod.org/library/topics/culture/tolerance_principles.html  <BR></TD><TD width="200" valign="top"> <link rel="Stylesheet" href="/world/right-bar-basic.css" type="text/css"></link> <style type="text/css"> @import: "/world/right-bar-advanced.css"; </style> <div id="rightbar"> <div id="listenlinks"> <h4><a target="_top" href="/world/listen/">Listen to WORLD</a></h4> <div>Daily radio shorts by Nick Eicher. <a target="_top" href="/world/listen/">Read more...</a><br /> <p><img src="/world/image/speaker.gif" height="11" width="12" /> <a target="_top" href="/world/listen/home.asp?file=000000201.mp3">10/7/02 download MP3</a></p> <p><img src="/world/image/speaker.gif" height="11" width="12" /> <a target="_top" href="/world/listen/home.asp?file=000000199.mp3">10/8/02 download MP3</a></p> <p><img src="/world/image/speaker.gif" height="11" width="12" /> <a target="_top" href="/world/listen/home.asp?file=000000198.mp3">10/9/02 download MP3</a></p> <p><img src="/world/image/speaker.gif" height="11" width="12" /> <a target="_top" href="/world/listen/home.asp?file=000000197.mp3">10/10/02 download MP3</a></p> <p><img src="/world/image/speaker.gif" height="11" width="12" /> <a target="_top" href="/world/listen/home.asp?file=000000196.mp3">10/11/02 download MP3</a></p> </div> </div> <div id="recentlinks"> <h4><a target="_top" href="/world/meta/archives/">From Previous Weeks</a></h4> <div> <p><a target="_top" href="/world/issue/10-05-02/"><img src="/world/issue/10-05-02/image/cover_thumb.jpg" width="72" height="97" /><br /> October 5, 2002</a></p> <p><a target="_top" href="/world/issue/09-28-02/"><img src="/world/issue/09-28-02/image/cover_thumb.jpg" width="72" height="97" /><br /> September 28, 2002</a></p> <p><a target="_top" href="/world/issue/09-21-02/"><img src="/world/issue/09-21-02/image/cover_thumb.jpg" width="72" height="97" /><br /> September 21, 2002</a></p> </div> <br /> <a href="http://worldmag.com/world/classifieds/"><img src="/world/image/side_ads/Searching_Ad_100x180.gif" width="180" height="100"></a> </div> </div> </TD></TR> </TABLE> <BR> <TABLE BORDER="0" WIDTH=520><TR><TD WIDTH=110 ALIGN=right VALIGN=top><FONT COLOR=ffffff><B>Search for more<BR>articles about:</B></FONT><BR></TD><TD WIDTH=40><BR></TD><TD WIDTH=370 VALIGN=top ALIGN=left BGCOLOR="#CCCC99"> <TABLE WIDTH="370" BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="8" CELLSPACING="0"><TR><TR><TD WIDTH="370" ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="top"><form name="searchForm" action="/world/meta/search/search.asp" onsubmit=""> <input type="hidden" name="performSearch" value="y"> <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="target" SIZE="30" MAXLENGTH="100"><br> <input type=checkbox name="stype" value="phrase" checked> exact phrase </TD><TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"> <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="search"></FORM> </TD></TR> </TABLE> </TD></TR></TABLE> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" WIDTH="500"><TR><TD WIDTH="156"><BR></TD><TD ALIGN=LEFT WIDTH="253"><FONT SIZE="1"><A HREF="/world/meta/copyright.asp" TARGET="_top">© 1996 - 2002 WORLD</A> Magazine. <A HREF="/world/meta/contact/" TARGET="_top">mailbag(a)worldmag.com</A></FONT></TD><TD COLSPAN="1" ALIGN=RIGHT WIDTH="91"><A HREF="#top"><IMG SRC="/world/image/nav/top_bottom.gif" WIDTH="22" HEIGHT="15" HSPACE="10" VSPACE="10" BORDER="0"></A><A HREF="home.asp" TARGET="_top"><IMG SRC="/world/image/nav/contents_bottom.gif" WIDTH="49" HEIGHT="15" BORDER="0" VSPACE="10"></A></TD></TR></TABLE>  <script type="text/javascript"> if(parent.frames.length>0&&!isContents) top.location.replace(document.location) </script> </BODY> </HTML>  --------------010405000308030207040500--

I had trouble with an instantssl cert, and found that what I needed to do was to also include all the certs up the chain, in a certain order, to keep the client from complaining about an invalid certificate. The first certificate in the pem file should be the the server certificate, followed by its chain starting from the root certificate down. Matt

[Dovecot] Copy from INBOX to INBOX corrupts file
by Andreas Jaekel 29 Oct '03

29 Oct '03

Aloha, again, Timo. Concerning the problem of copying within one folder... I'm still not sure it's not a problem I created myself, but I think it's caused by the use of the buffered IO routines in ostream-file.c ... you use io_add() to schedule write operations for later while simultanously reading new chunks from the very same file. This seems to confuse dovecot and make it write the copy to the strangest locations. I think when working within one folder I should use either blocking IO or a lot of calls to o_stream_flush()... what do you think? Greetings, Andy

Hi, Just a quicky, I can't see anything about how Dovecot handles certificate chains. 1, Does it handle them? 2, How, if if does? (Just got a cert from www.instantssl.com and I need there intermediate cert do validate it.., Works fine with Apache and Exim ) Cheers, Steve Gare - Xantara.Net -- 0845 123 5707
