Hi all, I just upgraded a couple of Fedora 9 workstations to try out 1.1.1 over NFS'd homedir's and I'm having trouble running dovecot in the same configuration we were with 1.0.14. It's fairly simple, we use pine/alpine and set a couple of variables to fork rimapd directly: * smtp-server=host (for the main mail machine) * user-domain=host (same) * set the inbox-path={localhost}INBOX * ssh-command=%s %s %s %s * ssh-path=/etc/rimapd In rimapd we specifiy: exec /usr/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail imap 2>/dev/null In dovecot.conf we specify: protocols = imap l...

...#39;s almost as if the 'default_mail_env' is telling it to create (literal) '~' before realising that this is shorthand (as in C-shell) for home directory. 2. We have some Pine usage in our UNIX cluster. Historically this has taken advantage of the Pine "rsh mailmachine /etc/rimapd" ability to avoid the need for the password: pre-authentication etc. (Yes, we realise that 'rsh' has security issues.) But when I try making symlink "/etc/rimapd" point to "/usr/dovecot/sbin/dovecot" this fails: Error: Can't use SSL key file /etc/ssl/privat...

...g up our Dovecot IMAP service and I've got a couple more questions, I'm afraid... :-} ============================================== Q1. The UW IMAP Server supports "pre-authenticated connections" -- does Dovecot? Specifically, it is possible to create a symlink from /etc/rimapd to the UW IMAP server binary and then use rsh or ssh from within the Pine mail client to execute that on the server to establish the IMAP connection: rsh imap.york.ac.uk /etc/rimapd Pine uses this to open a "pre-authenticated" connection to the UW IMAP server to avoid the use...

...etc.) things are OK. The imap session ends (from a client-end command "a logout") thus: --- a logout * BYE Logging out a OK Logout completed. Connection closed by foreign host. unix-prompt% --- But when the connection had been established using rsh or ssh to the servers's "/etc/rimapd" which contains: exec /usr/dovecot/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail imap the session ends thus: --- a logout * BYE Logging out a OK Logout completed. imap(<username>): Info: Disconnected: Logged out unix-prompt% --- Note that additional, protocol-breaking, "imap(...): Info ..." li...
