I found an error in my log today...
Dec 17 12:03:30 bubba dovecot:
imap(user1 at amfes.com)<23017><VzQFnjx9WNAKO2EC>: Error: fts_solr:
received invalid uid '0'
Dec 17 12:04:44 bubba dovecot:
imap(user2 at amfes.com)<25004><FeHDSj19i2ysOCn7>: Fatal: master:
service(imap): child 25004 killed with signal 11 (core dumps disabled -
https://dovecot.org/bugreport.html#coredumps)
I've now enabled core dumps (I think) and restarted - if it comes back
hopefully I can get a backtrace.? But reading that fts_solr message, and
some other comments, leads me to wonder - could this be caused by
someone/thing trying to authenticate as root?
On that theory - I tried doing so via telnet - and received:
Dec 17 15:06:02 bubba dovecot: auth: Error:
plain(ultradeitytypeperson at amfes.com,127.0.0.1,<4kQr0z99UMZ/AAAB>):
user
not found from any userdbs
Dec 17 15:06:02 bubba dovecot: imap: Error: Authenticated user not found
from userdb, auth lookup id=3522297857 (auth connected 1 msecs ago,
handshake 0 msecs ago, request took 1 msecs, client-pid=29572 client-id=1)
I have root's email aliased to a valid user's email.? I'm not sure
how
I'm able to authenticate as root - there isn't a root user defined in my
LDAP database and that should be the only auth backend enabled for
Dovecot.? Or do I need to explicitly block local users from /etc/passwd
on the server?? The only auth databases shown in doveconf -n:
userdb {
? driver = prefetch
}
userdb {
? args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext
? driver = ldap
}
passdb {
? args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/master-users
? driver = passwd-file
? master = yes
}
passdb {
? args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext
? driver = ldap
}
and "master-users" doesn't list root either.
