Hi ! I have dovecot working on a SUSE 9.0 machine. Everything works fine. When I boot, I get this message: snip............. Dovecot starting up Login process died too early-shutting down snap........... rcdovecot status : unused a rcdovecot start starts dovecot. What can I do to start dovecot when I boot up ? Adrian Roye
I've run into this problem. It's trying to start a process that you don't have set up properly. If it looks for a password file that has a bad path, or it can load modules, like PAM, it will die as soon as it is spawned. Double check dovecot.conf.

Have you changed log_file to /dev/stderr? Or does the init script not start "dovecot" but something else? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
