similar to: Dovecot authentication issue with postgresql

I've included the non-defaulted bits of my dovecot.conf file at the bottom of this email. As I understand my set-up it's using unix authentication methods (/etc/passwd via pam?). Considering disable_plaintext_auth and auth_mechanisms, what exactly is being passed? I was hoping to get auth_mechanism = digest-md5 but that's not working out very well right now. It seems I can only

Hi all, I found Dag Wieers' Fedora Core 2 rpm on http://dag.wieers.com/packages/dovecot/ and installed it. Now dovecot-auth isn't complaining anymore about an unknown userdb type but I can't get authentication working. /etc/dovecot.conf (...) # Authentication process name. auth = default # plain digest-md5 anonymous auth_mechanisms = plain auth_userdb = pgsql

Hi all, I'm having the same issue as in this previous post: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/R-error-td4200447.html#a4209042 And as another user of Biostar: http://www.biostars.org/post/show/42562/cummerbund-isnt-managing-cuffdiff-database/#42895 Whereby I'm trying to output cuffdiff data into cummeRbund, but it appears to be having issues with connection to a database (below). Does anyone

There is a memory leak in newhidups. After 23 days uptime it used 138M memory. Apart from the memory leak, the system works ok. Is there anything I can do to help fix this problem? Tor.

Hello R users, I have successfully created a square (or more generally, rectangular) tophat smoothing routine based on altering the already available KDE2D. I would be keen to implement a circular tophat routine also, however this appears to be much more difficult to write efficiently (I have a routine, but it's very slow). I tried to create one based on using crossdist to create a distance

A most puzzling network conundrum has arisen while I was attempting to create a virtual network behind a virtual router which in turn connects the virtual network to my real network. My machine (192.168.103.23) is on the network with my router (192.168.103.1). The virtual router, tiara, has to connect my 192.168.103.* network with the virtual 10.0.0.* network which comprises two other virtual

I am having some issues getting dovecot to work with postgres. Dovecot starts up and runs fine without using postgres (ie passwd and pam). There is nothing in /var/log/messages other than: Aug 28 12:44:05 mail dovecot: dovecot startup succeeded Then ps -A shows no running dovecot processes (or the imap-login or pop-login). I have tried with both the RPMs that are on the download page and

Hello there, Anyone have a Howto for me how i can configure dovecot to work with a PostgreSQL Database?

Hi, im using 0.99 stable in RPM form, Im using this for postfix+dovecot+real unix users, now i tried to enable virtual support with this: protocols = imap pop3 ssl_disable = yes log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot.info login_user = dovecot mail_extra_groups = mail auth = default auth_mechanisms = plain auth_passdb = pam auth_userdb = passwd auth_userdb =

I've been playing around with Dovecot for the past few months for testing (on a Debian 3.0 system), and initially it was easy to setup and worked well. Recently I upgraded to 0.99.10.9, and when I rebuilt it I enabled MySQL and SSL. The first problem I ran into was upon startup it complained that there was no certificate, which makes sense, except that I hadn't enabled imaps in the

Im a dovecot newbie and need a little help with the passwd-like file auth mechanism in dovecot I got dovecot to work fine with regular /etc/passwd file auth .. so I wanted to start using another authentication store for virtual users. So .. I created a /etc/dovecot-passdb file and plopped in an encrypted password using md5crypt. Here are the appropriate lines from the dovecot.conf file

Hello. I am trying to setup Dovecot on an Alpha running FreeBSD 4.10. I am simply trying the imap/pop3 protocols at this time. But with both protocols the log message I get is: pop3-login: fd_send(5) failed: Bad file descriptor dovecot: child 275 (login) returned error 89 or imap-login: fd_send(5) failed: Bad file descriptor dovecot: child 275 (login) returned error 89 I have tried

hi there, I?m getting such a headache today, I?ve added myself to three mailing lists trying to figure this out, okay here it goes. I?ve got a Fedora Core 4 box running dovecot imap, squirrel mail, postfix, samba/winbind. I?m running winbind to authenticate against Active Directory, I?ve edited my ?/etc/pam.d/dovecot? pam module so to let my users login with there Active directory password, but

my mailsystem is using postfix and virtual mailbox which stored in mysql db. SMTP AUTH is using PAM, pam-mysql to authenticate against a mysql db. I installed dovecot 0.99-14. In the dovecot example config file it mentioned that auth_passdb can check against thru PAM but auth_userdb didn't Does it mean that auth_userdb should use other means e.g. /etc/passwd, shadow, vpopmail, etc and in my

Hi all I just compiled Dovecot v1.0-test70 and i tried using the dovecot-example.conf for a quick test to see if the daemon would work. But I keep getting the following error message in me /var/log/messages: May 17 12:33:46 mail dovecot: Dovecot v1.0-test70 starting up May 17 12:33:47 mail dovecot: Auth process died too early - shutting down May 17 12:33:47 mail dovecot: auth(default): No

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello all, I'm migrating to Dovecot from Courier-IMAP. I use Postfix with Maildir for delivery. When I use Dovecot as the IMAP server all of my folders are missing, the only thing that remains is the Inbox folder. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I have enclosed my configuration.

I'm trying to set up a temporary mailserver using Debian Sarge and Dovecot 1.0 with maildir format. My only previous experience has been on a simple imap server. I have read the wiki documentation and searched the archives, but can't tie down my problem. The log tells me Info: passwd-file(anne) : unknown user. I have set auth_userdb = passwd-file /etc/imap.passwd auth_passdb =

I've recently converted over to dovecot to uw-imap, and am having a heck of a time trying to find actual docs that describe how to set up virtual users properly without using ldap or posgres.. Basically I need to know what goes in auth_userdb and auth_passdb for a system with *NO* local user accounts in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow. I will only create mbox files for these users in /var/mail/%u
