dovecot - Apr 2005 - dovecot-stable-latest.tar.gz - Login process died too early - shutting down

Hello,

i've installed dovecot:

./configure \
    --prefix=/usr \
    --sysconfdir=/etc \
    --localstatedir=/var \
    --enable-debug \
    --with-storages=maildir && make && make install
groupadd dovecot
useradd -s /bin/bash -g dovecot dovecot



ok, in /etc/dovecot.conf I have:


# grep -v "#" /etc/dovecot.conf
######################################################################
protocols = imap
ssl_disable = yes
default_mail_env = maildir:/home/%u/Maildir
protocol imap {
  login_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login
  mail_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap
  mail_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/rawlog 
/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap
  mail_modules = /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap
}
protocol pop3 {
}
auth_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-auth
auth_verbose = yes
auth_debug = yes
auth default {
  mechanisms = plain
  passdb = shadow
  userdb = passwd
  user = root
}
######################################################################


When I try to run:


    dovecot


i get


# tail -f /var/log/maillog:

I've got dovecot working on two other machines without any problem...
Is there a way to fix this? Maybe some libs are missing?

Login/auth processes see that file descriptor 5 is given to them, even 
if they don't want it. Two possibilities:

1) Dovecot master process opens a file and leaks it. Unlikely because 
it doesn't happen with me.

2) The process that starts Dovecot's master process leaks a file 
descriptor to Dovecot (some do it intentionally, eg. gdb). How do you 
start Dovecot? From normal shell?

In any case, none of this is checked unless you give --enable-debug 
option to configure, so recompiling without it would at least fix it..
