dovecot - May 2010 - Dovecot Won't start on SLITAZ Linux

Hi

I've just compiled dovecot under Slitaz, but I can't get it to run...

It always die with this message in log :

2010-05-06 12:35:12 dovecot: Info: Dovecot v1.2.11 starting up
2010-05-06 12:35:12 dovecot: Fatal: setrlimit(RLIMIT_DATA, 256): Operation
not permitted
2010-05-06 12:35:12 dovecot: Error: child 1455 (auth) returned error 89
(Fatal failure)
2010-05-06 12:35:12 dovecot: Fatal: Auth process died too early - shutting
down


here is my "dovecot -n" :
# 1.2.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 2.6.30.6-slitaz i686
login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login
login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot/imap-login
auth default:
  passdb:
    driver: pam
  userdb:
    driver: passwd


It's the dovecot-example.conf.

I also tried the dovecot.conf that was working well on my "openwrt
linux"
dovecot, but no more results :(

Thanks for you help :)

Google is your friend. Simply highlighting the above error:

Fatal: setrlimit(RLIMIT_DATA, 256): Operation not permitted

Provides the answer:

Some news from my problem : I've tried 2.0 beta, 1.1, and both didn't
worked.

I went down to v1.0.15, and it works...
Still haven't found what's wrong with newer versions...

auth_process_size = 0 probably helps.
