[Dovecot] v2.0.tip master: service(auth): kill(pid, SIGINT) failed: Operation not permitted

[Pascal Volk]

Hi Timo,

I've configured the user nobody for the the service auth. doveconf -n
# 2.0.alpha3: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 2.6.30-1-amd64 x86_64 Debian squeeze/sid 
…
service auth {
  user = nobody
}
…

The other processes are executed by root (or logged in user):
root      8758  0.0  0.0   2604  1052 ?        Ss   07:21   0:00 /usr/local/sbin/dovecot
root      8759  0.0  0.0   2308   808 ?        S    07:21   0:00  \_ dovecot/anvil
root     10869  0.0  0.0   2308   996 ?        S    08:18   0:00  \_ dovecot/log
nobody   10884  0.0  0.0   7292  2176 ?        S    08:18   0:00  \_ dovecot/auth

Logins are not a problem. But since the last logout, Dovceot
logs once a minute:
Nov 11 hh:mm:23 el-negro dovecot: master: service(auth): kill(10884, SIGINT) failed: Operation not permitted


Regards,
Pascal
