[Dovecot] passdb/userdb restart

[Thomas Hummel]

Hello Timo,

I've noticed that when slapd which I'm using as the passdb and the prefetched
userdb is restarted I have to restart dovecot. As a matter of fact, if I don't,
I get the following error :

--
Jul  2 16:38:39 xxxx dovecot: imap-login: Internal login failure: user=<xxxx>, method=PLAIN, rip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, lip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, TLS
Jul  2 16:38:46 xxxx dovecot: auth(default): prefetch(xxx,xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx): passdb didn't return userdb entries
Jul  2 16:38:46 xxxx dovecot: auth(default): userdb(xxx,xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx): user not found from userdb

I'm using dovecot-1.0.1 on FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE with openldap-server-2.3.35_1
(bdb backend).

Would some cache-related parameters allow to fix that or will restarting
dovecot be always mandatory after an ldap restart ?
  
Thanks.
