[Dovecot] 1st DOVECOT installation automatically quitting on login

[Benton Haynes]

Hi there.

I have just installed DOVECOT 1.0.1 for the first time.

After launching it, I can verify that

ps -ax | grep -i dovecot
 1052  ??  Ss     0:00.03 /usr/local/dovecot/sbin/dovecot -c
/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
 1053  ??  S      0:00.06 dovecot-auth
 1058  p2  R+     0:00.01 grep -i dovecot

ps -ax | grep -i imap
 1054  ??  S      0:00.08 imap-login
 1055  ??  S      0:00.08 imap-login
 1056  ??  S      0:00.08 imap-login
 1060  p2  R+     0:00.01 grep -i imap

Then, if I telnet to DOVECOT/IMAP & login

telnet 192.168.1.30 143
 Trying 192.168.1.30...
 Connected to 192.168.1.30.
 Escape character is '^]'.

x login ben at haynes.name benpass
 x OK Logged in.
 Connection closed by foreign host.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It disconnects automatically.


In my dovecot.conf, I currently have defined

verbose_ssl                   = no
auth_verbose                  = no
auth_debug                    = yes
mail_debug                    = no


And, in dovecot.log, I get only,

dovecot: Jun 15 18:51:10 Info: auth(default): client in: AUTH   1
PLAIN     service=IMAP    lip=192.168.1.30        rip=192.168.1.3resp=<hidden>

dovecot: Jun 15 18:51:14 Error: child 1064 (imap) killed with signal 4

Ihaven't been able to figure out why this is happening.  Is there some more
detailed debugging I should turn on?  Any ideas why this is going on?
