Can anyone share the proper config to get wrappers working in dovecot on FreeBSD? The dovecot examples do not seem to work, and I thought perhaps FBSD needs slightly different configs. I've compiled with: -DHAVE_LIBWRAP which I presume is the first step. The example for dovecot.conf in uncommenting: login_access_sockets = tcpwrap merely causes a log error of "imap-login: Error: connect(tcpwrap) failed: No such file or directory" Suggestions/Direction much appreciated.
# Space separated list of login access check sockets (e.g. tcpwrap)
#login_access_sockets login_access_sockets = tcpwrap
service tcpwrap {
unix_listener login/tcpwrap {
group = $default_login_user
mode = 0600
user = $default_login_user
}
}
I believe that's all. I had placed it all in
/usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf.

I had placed it all in > /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf.for the record: the wiki doesn't mention the obvious part: configuring access rules. dovecot configured like mentioned on http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LoginProcess#TCP_wrappers_support look into /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny. that allow two use cases: 1. allow any client but deny a specific one 2. deny all clients and allow only specific one 1. $ cat /etc/hosts.deny # deny 192.0.2.143 to use imap service, deny 192.0.2.110 to use pop3 service imap: 192.0.2.143 pop3: 192.0.2.110 2. $ cat /etc/hosts.deny # deny imap access at all imap: * $ cat /etc/hosts.allow # allow imap access for that client imap: 192.0.2.143 the format is described in "man 5 hosts.allow" + "man 5 hosts.deny" Andreas
