similar to: Dovecot on Linux 2.6.0-test1-ac1

Howdy folks ! I just added Dovecot as a standard package to Devil-Linux and ran into a problem with resource limits. Grsecurity (http://www.grsecurity.net) is used in DL to prevent problems with common exploits, it also reports violations of rlimits. The following messages show up in the log, but it seems that the IMAP Server works fine: Apr 26 19:20:04 src at gate imap-login: Login: hz

I am trying to run Dovecot on RH 7.3 with Linux kernel 2.4.20 + GrSecurity patch. I downloaded the RPM yesterday and installed it. When I start Dovecot the kernel reports: kernel: grsec: From 192.168.1.22: attempt to overstep process limit by (dovecot:14491) UID(0) EUID(0), parent (dovecot:23872) UID(0) EUID(0) I have never seen this problem in the 3 years I have used GrSecurity together with a

I've been using Dovecot on 2.6.0-test1 for quite awhile but today I jumped ahead to test5 and it broke in the way you described. http://dovecot.procontrol.fi/list/dovecot/2003-July/001943.html I used your workaround and now everyone is back in business. Thank you for the help! (I was sweating there for a bit.) --kyler

Hi, I've been trying to get in touch with someone to discuss a problem with Samba that I've been experiencing. I can reproduce the bug on the systems for which I am responsible, and am interested to know whether it is a local problem or a genuine bug. (I have searched the archives, updated to the latest Samba release and read the docs :) I posted to this list and have had no replies -

Hi all, I'm interested in implementing an anti-spam system using bayesian filtering. I had the idea of modifying and IMAP server to assist in training the spam filter. I was thinking of running a program whenever a message in moved to the folder "Spam" or to a "Safe" folder. This could be easily added to the server as a generic feature, with hook programs for: * new

Hi, (I'm reposting this because I was asked to by a subscriber :) I believe I've found a problem that we can reproduce using the latest samba release (2.0.6). It is fairly hard to describe accurately but I will do my best. The bug is present if deleting from a smbmounted point under Linux or from Windows 98 through "Network Neighborhood." All of the users involved are in the

As the freeze for Debian sarge slowly approaches I want to make sure the Dovecot packages are in as good condition as possible. I see there have been a number of patches since 0.99.10. I have added the following patches: * segfault when user home directory is empty * Proper PAM service name * Make suid work on 2.6 kernels Any other patches thatI ought to add. Or better yet, will there be a

Hey, Well, that was easy :-) Patch against CVS follows: Summary: Created a boolean option allow_zero_gid, when set to yes it will allow logins from users whose group id is zero. Tested with KMail 3.1.1 on FreeBSD 4.8. I'm not sure if my method for passing the boolean via the environment is correct, it looks a little on the ugly side. Index: src/lib/restrict-access.c

Hi I have some odd problem with running dovecot.

Hi, I'm working for a company that has many users using samba and Red Hat Linux 6.1. We've found a problem that we can reproduce using the latest samba release (2.0.6). It is fairly hard to describe accurately but I will do my best. All of the users involved are in the group 'ihgtech'. The problem involves recursive deletion of directories owned by another user and the group

Does the ext3 patch applies on top of the newly released 2.4.6 kernel (and/or the 2.4.6-ac1 variant) ? I want to upgrade to the new kernel and wanted to know before I run into problems if there are any known problems and if it's better to wait for an 'official' release. Thanks.

Hi, After searching the archives and Google and not turning up anything, I thought I'd ask here. Has anyone done an R package for calculating Gwet's AC1 statistic and variance? K.L. Gwet.

I have a new x3655 IBM and whenever the /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge script starts, the ethernet would no longer work. This post isn''t about the cause, but the fix. I did a lot of tcpdumps and Googling, but I''ll spare you that. All they do is prove that yes, there is an issue. :) I tried Debian 4.0 i386/amd64 and Ubuntu 7.04 Server i386/amd64 and they all exhibit the

Hey, I've just updated the FreeBSD dovecot port to the 0.99.4 beta release, the following patch was needed as FreeBSD has setrlimit(2) but does not define RLIMIT_AS (I believe). I switched the code the require both, alternatively find a parallel option in the FreeBSD setrlimit(2) manual page. ( http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?setrlimit ) You may be interested in integrating this patch.

I've created a patch that adds a feature that is helpful to my setup. If 'parent_dir_umask' is set in the configuration file, any missing directories in the home directory path are created. The home directory itself is created according to the 'umask' setting, 'parent_dir_umask' is only used for intermediate directories that might need creating. This is useful to me,

Anyone had any thoughts on the item below? If the problem is with my config, I'd like to be guided towards how I might resolve it. If it is a bug in rc7, it would be good to fix it, and I'd be happy to beta-test. -- : David Lee I.T. Service : : Senior Systems Programmer Computer Centre : :
