[Dovecot] [Fwd: Dovecot disconnecting users at login for inactivity]

I am running 0.99.11 on FreeBSD 5.2.1 with both POP and IMAP enabled. Both POP and IMAP only allow authentication once SSL or TLS is enabled. Some IMAP and POP clients are suffering transient or permanent failures (I have not figured out the combination that is having the permanent failures), but all clients seem to fail every now and then. When all clients are having transient failures, a restart of the server seems to work. That does not solve the problems for the clients that always fail, however. The failures are an unresponsive server, and the following in the logs on the server:
Oct 9 23:12:29 odin imap-login: Disconnected: Inactivity [199.45.11.20]
Pretty difficult to guess what the problem is from that. I'd suggest trying 1.0-test47 with auth_verbose = yes. It logs then any problem that client had while logging in.
Hmm. Unless the problem is somehow SSL related and it's using /dev/random which has run out of entropy? Just a guess.

Greetings,
I have installed test47 and enabled the debugging, and now all
trouble reports are resolved.

I'm having similar problems on my system. Are you saying that simply installing the 1.0-test47 fixed the problem? Or did the test show you what the problem was?
