I get the same problem with rc15, except that in 1.0.beta8, the error
would appear just once. In rc15, it repeats once/second. I guess rc15
restarts dovecot-auth if it dies?
Here are my non-default dovecot.conf (1.0.rc15) settings:
disable_plaintext_auth = no
ssl_disable = yes
protocol imap {
mail_plugins = dspam
mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/imap
}
protocol lda {
mail_plugins = cmusieve
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail
}
auth_cache_size = 64
# 4 hours
auth_cache_ttl = 14400
auth default {
mechanisms = plain
passdb pam {
args = cache_key=%u%r dovecot
}
userdb passwd {
}
user = root
}
This is on Solaris 10U2/x86.
