[Dovecot] How to run in debug format for SSL testing?

[Jeff A. Earickson]

Help, new to dovecot...

I want to get some output from my test sessions to confirm that
SSL pop and imap are working.  How does one get debug output from
dovecot?  How does one see that dovecot is using SSL in a transaction?

I configured dovecot 0.99.13 with:

CC=gcc CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/openssl/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/openssl/lib \
./configure --prefix=/opt/dovecot --with-ssl=openssl \
--with-ssldir=/opt/openssl/ssl --with-rawlog --enable-debug > configure.out

on Solaris 9.  BTW, if I compile with Sun's StudioOne version 8 compiler,
I get a core dump of dovecot-auth into /var/run/dovecot.  The gdb backtrace
looks like:

gdb dovecot-auth core

This GDB was configured as "sparc-sun-solaris2.8"...
(gdb complaints about lack of debug symbols from numerous libs snipped out)
Core was generated by `dovecot-auth'.
Program terminated with signal 10, Bus error.

(gdb) backtrace

#2  0x00035e5c in io_loop_run ()
#3  0x00025940 in main ()

The code works when compiled with gcc 3.4.3.
