[Dovecot] Dovecot 2 fails after correct login

[Frank Walter]

Surely this was still a bit mistakely:

userdb static {
  args = uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/home/vmail/%d/%n allow_all_users=yes
}

but it should be:

userdb static {
  driver = static
  args = uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/home/vmail/%d/%n allow_all_users=yes
}

Dovecot talks, if I start him:

root at myserver:~# dovecot
doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: userdb is missing driver

:)

And now, after setting the user and group of the whole dir (which was just copied without the permissions owner and groups):

/home/vmail

to vmail:

chown -R vmail:vmail /home/vmail

THE GOOD DOVECOT IS WORKING!

Tank again, Tim!!!

Kinds, frank
