imap-login: Fatal: pipe() failed: Too many open files
Hi
I keep on getting errors and can't connect/login to Dovecot. I did my
research but unfortunately without success. It is for sure not ulimit
because ulimit is set to unlimited per default already. Still , it
complains about "Too many open files" but this is a test system and
the
service dovecot and postfix have just been started. No one except me is
testing on this system. This is very weired ;/
root at WM-01 [~]$ service dovecot stop; service postfix stop ; echo
"" >
/var/log/maillog ; echo "" > /var/log/slapd.log ; service postfix
start
; service dovecot start

If I uncoment port = 0 in POP and IMAP then it looks even worse then
above. Telnet is not even closed by remote host and three of the "Too
many open files" errors are showing up in maillog:

Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong here? I attached the
relevant configuration below. I use OpenLDAP as backend.
Please let me know if you need more information. Thank you very much.

imap-login: Fatal: pipe() failed: Too many open files
Sorry didn't scroll to the bottom to see the dovecot -n. I'm assuming
freebsd has an /etc/login.conf similiar to openbsd. If so you may need
to do something similiar to this:
dovecot:\
:openfiles-cur=512:\
:openfiles-max=2048:\
:tc=daemon:
Rebuild the login.conf.db file if necessary:
# [ -f /etc/login.conf.db ] && cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf
Hope this helps.
