(Using rc7 code)
There seems to be a bug in rsh/ssh-style connections.
For reference, on a normal imap connection (port 143, 993, etc.) things
are OK. The imap session ends (from a client-end command "a logout")
thus:
---
a logout
* BYE Logging out
a OK Logout completed.
Connection closed by foreign host.
unix-prompt%
---
But when the connection had been established using rsh or ssh to the
servers's "/etc/rimapd" which contains:
exec /usr/dovecot/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail imap
the session ends thus:
---
a logout
* BYE Logging out
a OK Logout completed.
imap(<username>): Info: Disconnected: Logged out
unix-prompt%
---
Note that additional, protocol-breaking, "imap(...): Info ..." line.
This seems to be coming from "imap/cmd-logout.c" calling:
client_disconnect(client, "Logged out");
which in turn ("imap/client.c") does:
i_info("Disconnected: %s", reason);
On the imap connection, this "i_info(...)" output goes (correctly) to
syslog, but on the rsh/ssh connection this output seems to go to something
like stdout.
This strongly suggests a bug: an inconsistency between the two connection
types, possibly regarding the way that stdout, stderr, syslog etc. are
initialised, assigned, adjusted, etc.
