Hi all

I find this highly upsetting, I just upgrade my debian dovecot, and I specified that I dont want to upgrade the conf file.

and on restarting, I get this in my syslog.

Oct 24 17:33:33 mail dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.alpha3 starting up
Oct 24 17:33:34 mail dovecot: Login process died too early - shutting down
Oct 24 17:33:34 mail dovecot: imap-login: Can't load certificate file /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem: error:25066067:DSO support routines:DLFCN_LOAD:could not load the shared library
Oct 24 17:33:34 mail dovecot: imap-login: Can't load certificate file /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem: error:25066067:DSO support routines:DLFCN_LOAD:could not load the shared library

Wierd thing is, at no time am I asking for ssl, and in my conf file I have it hashed out.

mail:~# cat /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf | grep ssl
# --with-ssldir=/etc/ssl
#ssl_listen =
#ssl_disable = no
#ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem
#ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem
#ssl_ca_file =
#ssl_verify_client_cert = no
#ssl_parameters_file = /var/run/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat
#ssl_parameters_regenerate = 24
#ssl_cipher_list = all:!LOW
#verbose_ssl = no
   #ssl_require_client_cert = no
mail:~#

I tried on the command line

# dovecot -F -c dovecot.conf

my version is:
mail:~# dovecot --version
1.0.alpha3
mail:~#

Would anyone perhaps know why I cant get the daemon started.

Kind Regards
Brent Clark
