dovecot - Jan 2007 - ioloop=best and imap-login: No authentication sockets found ??

Attempting to use dovecot-1.0.rc16 on centos built with:

  env CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/kerberos/include \
  ./configure --prefix=/local/service/dovecot --with-ssl=openssl \
        --with-ioloop=best

My config has changed from example:
protocols = imap
ssl_disable = yes (because not pem)

Plus I set to yes all the debug and verbose options.

I couldn't login via IMAP:

I looked in ./src/lib-auth/auth-client.c and saw this was related to 
ioloop.

So, I rebuilt and reinstalled without the --with-ioloop=best and it used 
"poll".

And now I could log in.

So I guess best meant epoll with you?

Well it's not really related to ioloop. It just means that dovecot-auth
didn't create authentication sockets into /var/run/dovecot/login
directory. I've no idea why changing epoll to poll would have fixed it.
Maybe you did something else while recompiling it that really fixed
it? :)
