[Dovecot] problems with ldap auth

[Igor V Rozinov]

I'm trying Dovecot v1.0-stable with ldap authentication but can't seem
to make it work. I'm getting the following errors in the log:

May 10 11:49:07 <mail.info> 172.16.2.22 dovecot: Dovecot v1.0-stable starting up
May 10 11:49:08 <mail.err> 172.16.2.22 dovecot: Auth process died too early - shutting down
