Hi,
I have installed Dovecot 1.0.0 on a FreeBSD6.0 machine with Exim 4.66 and
Vexim 1.5. When I restart the machine, dovecot does not load properly. The logs
of /var/log/maillog are as:
May 8 00:10:32 lhr dovecot: pop3-login: No authentication sockets found
May 8 00:10:32 lhr dovecot: child 11478 (login) returned error 89
May 8 00:10:34 lhr dovecot: imap-login: No authentication sockets found
May 8 00:10:34 lhr dovecot: child 11479 (login) returned error 89
When I kill it and then start it, then it starts working properly.
/var/log/maillog:May 8 09:33:02 lhr dovecot: auth(default): Killed with
signal 15
/var/log/maillog:May 8 09:33:02 lhr dovecot: Killed with signal 15

Regardless, my first guess is that your MySQL instance has not finished starting and is not accepting connections before Dovecot is initiated, so the auth worker has no socket to connect to; what's the timing and order of your /etc/rc* tree look like? If you have the services starting in parallel, then you might have to move Dovecot further down the startup tree, or add a little shell voodoo to check for the MySQL socket before starting it... -te -- Troy Engel | Systems Engineer Fluid, Inc | http://www.fluid.com
