dovecot - Oct 2006 - Dovecot vs Ports

Just discovered that there might be a problem with the latest Dovecot 
update thru portupgrade.
If I reboot my BSD (6.2-PRERELEASE), it stopped/hanged during boot-sequence.

Thanks to Jack Raats problem is solved now; he will explain _exactly_ 
what went wrong...

regards,
Jos

After the latest portupgrade I rebooted my system and for some reason it 
stopped booting after loadin acpi.ko
Investigated the OS with Fixit (from the first install disc booting and 
choosing this option from the sysinstall menu).
After fsck we could mount the HD and investigate the problem.

Main problem was an error in the /etc/rc.conf.. The dovecot_enable was 
missing the quotes...
I think this is due to the portmanager (the person that has made the 
port for BSD) instead of Dovecot itself...

I think it is a combination of OS version and the person that makes the 
(accurate) port for that version.
Anyway we're all humans after all, so this is allways possible. Just a 
little bit stressing on a normal Saturdaynight :-)
