[Dovecot] Has dovecot 2.1.1 been built and tested on AIX 6.1???
I have downloaded and built dovecot 2.1.1 using gcc on AIX 6.1.
(The output of "dovecot -n" is at the bottom of this email.)
I'm trying "baby steps" to get it up, before I give it the final
configuration.
(My apologies: I was pointed to RFC3501 and told to get an IMAP server,
build it, configure it, and bring it up)
What is currently occurring when I start dovecot is:
Error: service(pop3-login): listen(::, 110) failed: Address already in
use
Error: service(pop3-login): listen(::, 995) failed: Address already in
use
Error: service(imap-login): listen(::, 143) failed: Address already in
use
Error: service(imap-login): listen(::, 993) failed: Address already in
use
Fatal: Failed to start listeners
Using TRUSS and recompiling with log messages I've determined that dovecot
is
successfully creating and binding to AF_INET sockets... but is failing
when trying to do the "bind" the same port to an AF_INET6 socket.
The failure is "EADDRINUSE".
The logic in the dovecot sources seems driven off of the define of HAVE_IPV6
(defined in config.h by configure)
So, the questions I have are:
- Is this the correct behavior
- If this is the correct behavior, has this been tested against AIX 6.1,
and if so, does anyone have an idea of what I did wrong...???
If it has not been tested against AIX 6.1 and is NOT the correct behavior,
should I just change "config.h", and undefined HAVE_IPV6 ... or is
there a
better way to move beyond this issue... (like a change to
"configure")???
Thanks,
-tony
