similar to: dovecot mounts user home dir?

Dovecot is faulting on an error about permissions that it shouldn't do. I've got an user with its home dir with permissions 700, and inside the mail directory with the mboxes. In the error log I can see: 'Can't chdir to /home/user. Permission denied' I wonder why it has to chdir to that directory and why it can't access. Shouldn't it be running as the user?

Hi all, I need your insight. I've been testing Dovecot on an AIX 5.2 system. Compiled and running fine. We have some users on an AIX 5.1 system, so I'm working on installing it there, so we can do further testing. I'm using Dovecot 1.0 RC15 with OpenSSL 9.0.7e, configured to use port 10143 (imap) and 10993 (imaps). The error I'm seeing in the log is: dovecot: Nov 28

On pop3 logout, we're seeing log lines where the deleted count is blank (using default pop3_logout_format), so "del=%d/%m" is displaying in the logs as: "del=/1186" for example. In src/pop3/pop3-client.c:552: tab[4].value = client->delete_success ? dec2str(client->deleted_count) : 0; Shouldn't this be: tab[4].value =

I am looking through the logging options and wondering if there are a couple of things that we can do 1. Logouts don't seem to show the IP address of the logout, we typically see multiple sessions at a time and wondering if there is a way to tie the logouts to an IP 2. POP logouts show the number of messages retrieved/deleted but I don't see a way to do this with IMAP, is there a logout

Hi Timo, Dovecot fails to start after upgrading from 1.1.4 to 1.1.6: Fatal: userdb didn't return a home directory, but mail location used it (%h): %h/mail:CONTROL=%h/control:INDEX=%h/index Error: imap dump-capability process returned 89 Fatal: Invalid configuration in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf Adding a fake home directory to args in master-settings.c:get_imap_capability solved the problem

I'm trying to hack together a new authentication back-end and I wanted to know if it's possible to pass values from passdb to userdb in the auth_request structure at authentication time. I modified struct auth_request in auth-request.h to contain a new variable and it gets set properly in my passdb, however the value is not there when checking for it userdb. I'm very novice when it

Hello, Today I needed to compile dovecot 2.1.10 on Debian 4.0, using gcc 4.1.2. When running 'make' getting the following error: -------------------------------------------------- -------- db-checkpassword.c: In function 'sigchld_handler': db-checkpassword.c: 426: error: assignment of read-only member '__in' db-checkpassword.c: 429: error: assignment of read-only member

Dear dovecot maintainers: I'm using SSL client certificates together with a checkpassword scripts to authenticate our users. My problem is: In the checkpassword script the AUTH_USER environment variable will either contain the username that was configured in the mailclient (if auth_ssl_username_from_cert=false) or the username from the certificate (if auth_ssl_username_from_cert=true). I

Hey Everyone: "No seteuid method available" is the error I get when trying to configure Samba 2.2.2 on an HP-UX 11.0 system. This system is part of a test network and has tcp/ip but no DNS. There are only 3 articles on the Samba site about this and the only fix requires changing and recompiling "C" libraries. Is there another, simpler fix? Thanks. ~ Gary Zawilinski ~

a very stupid question: What reason is there for an output with printf until dec2str to convert the numeric value to a string and not to use the format identifier "%d" or "u%"?

Dovecot's documentation is at all times significantly lagging behind the code, this is the MO for this project. I guess someone will say "contributions are welcome". There

I'm testing Dovecot as a possible replacement for UW. In my environment the home directories are automounted via NFS from a NetApp. In general this works fine, but Dovecot isn't picking up the automounted directories.

Hello Porters, I am attempting to compile OpenSSH 2.9.9p2 on a Dynix V4.4.4 host. I have set USE_PIPES and BROKEN_SAVED_UIDS (the latter because there are no functions for set{eu,eg}id() that I can find). I configured with "./configure '--with-libs=-lnsl -lsec'". Each time I attempt to login, I get this error: No utmp entry. You must exec "login" from

Any way to check if another proc has run or been run by a proc that is setuid or seteuid?

Hello, I've been compiling OpenSSH up on just about every platform that I can get my hands on. I am not certain of the best way of building my 'fixes' into the source tree, not least of all since I didn't worry about #ifdef's or the configure scripts. However hopefully this will be of use to you. This is all for openssh-2.2.0p1 compiled alongside openssl-0.9.5a and

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 : :

I was going to experiment with ACLs when I faced a small problem. It is just sufficient to enable the acl plugin for getting the behavior described hereafter. When launching dovecot from the command line, one gets: sh-3.2# /usr/local/dovecot/sbin/dovecot -F ILoading modules from directory: /usr/local/dovecot-1.2.rc6/lib/ dovecot/imap IModule loaded:

Hi, I'm terribly sorry that I missed this before 3.7p1 was out. The permanently_set_uid() function fails on Cygwin since the test to revert to the saved uid unfortunately works on Cygwin though it shouldn't. The reason is that a Windows NT process always can revert to its previous privileges. There's no such concept of giving up rights in a process permanently. This is only
