similar to: Dovecot under daemontools

Hi, I just started running RC2 on Thursday. I migrated an old Courier IMAP server, and the only issue I had was that I didn't understand how to enable quotas :) It's impressively fast, and I'm quite happy with it so far. This morning I found that dovecot had crashed, I had exceeded FreeBSD's kern.maxpipekva Has anyone successfully run dovecot under daemontools? I got it to

Hello all, I have dovecot running under daemontools and I can't see dovecot-lda in action when I read the logs. I've set the logs to /dev/stderr because daemontools redirects /dev/stderr to /var/log/dovecot/current. The dovecot server works fine and I know that dovecot-lda is actually doing the delivery, because the sieve facility is working as well. I can get lda log working -but

Hi all, I'm trying to use daemontools to manage the icecast server. I've got it installed and working (with qmail) However it wont work with icecast.

Hi I've recently released the daemontools scripts I use to run both Asterisk and Flash Operator Panel, and a macro to tell whether today is a holiday or not and jump to different dialplan places accordingly. They are here: daemontools scripts: http://www.bisente.com/blog/2007/04/27/spanish-asterisk-y-daemontools-spanishenglish-asterisk-and-daemontools-english/?lan=english is-holiday macro:

Hey all, It seems that dovecot does NOT call vchkpw properly when using vpopmail-style authentication, I can only guess that it reads the vpasswd{,.cdb} files directly. This is indicated by the syslog log for the mail facitily which reads: Jun 30 16:51:30 [vpopmail] vchkpw-smtp: (PLAIN) login success blah at blah.com:24.17.153.137 Jun 30 17:16:25 [pop3-login] Login: blah at blah.com

Hi - I tried to get Daemontools and Unicorn working together a while back - there are issues on USR2 restart because of the pid change - I''m hoping someone in the community will have some understanding of this issue I documented my experience and eventual defeat here : http://log.robotarmyma.de/post/2053448029/daemontools-ubuntu-rvm-bundler-unicorn-install Any help would be received

Hi all, I want to start dovecot through DJBs Daemontools-supervise, is there a configuration option that lets dovecot stay in foreground? best regards, Jens

Hi there, I''ve been playing with puppet for a couple of weeks (So, I''m still quite a newbie at it) and there is something I just can''t seem to be able to fix. I''m trying to have puppet manage daemontools service. Following the documentation <http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/types/service.html>, I added this in my puppet configuration: class

Hello, Using Puppet 2.7(.20), I''m trying to override the "restart" command of a service controlled by daemontools provider using: service { ''bamboo-agent'': hasrestart => false, provider => ''daemontools'', restart => ''/bin/touch /var/run/needs-restart'', ... } And ... notify =>

Here is my first major problem with dovecot. I am running rc15 on FreeBSD 6.1. I run dovecot supervised by DJB's daemontools. I run only the pop3 service. A colleague informed me that pop3 service was simply not responding. They could not rcv mail. When I checked the server, tail-ing dovecot.log, here is what was scrolling: [wash at nbi ~]$ tail -f /var/log/dovecot.log dovecot: Nov 23

So I got my UPS working. I'm trying to get NUT to run under daemontools . upsd and upsmon all seem to stay in the foreground when I add -D to them but upsdrvctl doesn't. Does anyone know if there's a hidden switch or something to make it stay in the foreground? The reason I want to use daemontools is so that if the process crashes, daemontools will just start it right back up

Hello, I'm trying to run smbd with djb daemontools' supervise. Here's the way I followed: # 2/6/2002 # problem running samba-2.2.4 and supervise problem: run smbd with supervise subproblem 1: smbd & nnmbd with -D option deteach from tty, so supervise cannot control them; solution 1: we can patch smb/server.c (foreground patch) to prevent deteach, but a second

Hi all, I am trying to use samba with daemontools. (and it's brother runit: http://smarden.org/runit/). I do not want to talk much about runit itself. The main point is that samba *must* run in foreground mode (no fork, no detach from terminal). It is fine up to this point. I found an option '-F' and if I start with smbd -F It will run in foreground so it's OK. But I want to

I would appreciate your opinion on a problem with sshd on Linux, when running under daemontools supervise. The configuration: sshd version OpenSSH_3.7.1p2 Redhat Linux 2.4.20-8smp #1 SMP i686 supervise / daemontools-0.76 I see the following behavior regarding groups: -bash-2.05b$ ssh mschulz at localhost id -Gn id: cannot find name for group ID 201 id: cannot find name for group ID 2039 OA3

Hello, I'm trying to run mailfront SMTP (http://untroubled.org/mailfront/) under Dovecot 2.x process/service supervision My intention was to utilize the fact that dovecot2.x seems to have some kind of generic process/service supervision as well as builtin ssl support. But I cannot get the most simple generic service setup (without ssl) to work. Currently running dovecot 2.0.11 on FreeBSD

Hi there I'd like to change my setup to log the _actual_ IMAP user's login, rather than the UNIX username. My system uses a virtual uid setup with qmail, where the mailboxes are owned by the 'vmail' user and authentication is via checkpassword using user%domain (ie email, just with % instead of @). So dovecot is recording _all_ logins as: imap-login: Login:

Hello, I would like to set up a POP account which also forwards email elsewhere. In qmail for example it is easy to set up by creating a dot qmail file inside the users mailbox. How can this be done with Postfix? For awareness I'm using Postfix + Dovecot for POP3 authentication. Thanks, Duncan

Hi After upgrading to dovecot 1.0.7 I noticed that the actual username is no longer logged, but rather the system user (in my case 'vmail') under which my virtual set-up runs. Now I'm unable to see which virtual users log in. Any pointers on how to configure dovecot to log the actual username given during the IMAP dialogue would be appreciated. My dovecot.conf includes the following:
