similar to: Login Fails: epoll_ctl(1, 7): Operation not permitted

Hello, I'am following the beginning tutorial on the Wiki, but actually, I can't even start the server correctly so far. The imap-login child dies immediately. What I can guess from the log is that it tries some unpermietted operations on some files but I can't find out which files are concerned. Google is not my friend at all either on this matter. How can I know which files are

Hi Timo, I'm playing with Dovecot v1.2.beta2 currently. When the dict process was started via deliver(?) and Dovecot is killed (kill $PID_OF_DOVECOT) after delivering only one message, it logs: Fatal: io_loop_handle_add: epoll_ctl(1, 10): Bad file descriptor If the dict process was not started or deliver has delivered more than one message, the error doesn't occur. I'm not using

Whenever dovecot is stopped while a dict process is running I see Fatal: io_loop_handle_add: epoll_ctl(1, 11): Bad file descriptor in the error log. The following patch fixes this for me. I'm sure there is a better way though. --- dovecot-1.2.beta4/src/master/dict-process.c.orig 2009-03-27 16:44:59.000000000 +0100 +++ dovecot-1.2.beta4/src/master/dict-process.c 2009-03-27

I have been running Dovecot 1.2.5 since Sept 14. Beginning at about 03:28 on Sept 21 for no apparent (to me) reason and continuing through the present, I am seeing log messages like the following and am experiencing delays logging in.

I'm currently trying out 1.2.beta1 and get the following error in 'mail.err' log file as soon as I stop dovecot: Feb 11 20:28:30 server dovecot: Fatal: io_loop_handle_add: epoll_ctl(1, 11): Bad file descriptor Is that anything critical?

Hello, currently I'm working on new ioloop handler which uses epoll(4) API introduced in Linux kernel 2.6. In this API each fd added to fd set by epoll_ctl system call can be accompanied with user supplied data (integer or void pointer). epoll_wait syscall reports arrived events as an array of structures containing event mask and user data. Attached patch replaces fd and condition parameters

I am running dovecot 1.0 beta3 as a front-end proxy, and getting the following error when using epoll. The error goes away if I switch to poll. On the backend IMAP server I see that the login was successful. The error occurs when I try to retrieve an email or get a folder listing via IMAP after logging in successfully...

Hi, After reviewing my dovecot ./configure options I thought I'd give --with-ioloop=epoll a go again (as opposed to just using =poll) but I'm seeing some errors appearing in the maillog that aren't there with standard poll: Dec 23 02:34:47 tornado dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<reuben>, auth-method=plain, remote=220.237.24.149, TLS Dec 23 02:34:48 tornado dovecot:

Hello everyone, I am testing Dovecot 1.1.3 at the moment to see if I can migrate from UW-Imap(mbox) to Dovecot(maildir). Because I dont' want to influence the production server I installed Dovecot on an ununsed computer with some dummy-testusers using ssl and maildir. Installation was without any problems and everything works fine with one exception: I cannot download some attachments.

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

Occasionally, all of our directors get stuck in an endless loop. Likely triggered by some network event, but I haven't been able to isolate exactly what triggers it, and am unable to reproduce at the moment. When this happens, it makes the dovecot/director process on all directors unresponsive, making login impossible. Restarting dovecot "fixes" it. Here's the info collected

Good morning, we have 2 Redhat Enterprise 5.7 machines, they are a cluster with some mail services in it (postfix and dovecot 2). The version of dovecot is dovecot-2.0.1-1_118.el5 (installed via rpm). >From last week we have this dovecot problem: suddenly dovecot doesn't accept any new connections, the dovecot.log file reports lines like these Mar 15 12:38:54 secchia dovecot: imap:

Greetings, This email is both a request for assistance/help and a heads-up. [8irgehuq] CVE-2011-1083: Algorithmic denial of service in epoll. After ksplice automatically installed the above patch on our mail servers, most/all IMAP/POP3 connections began experiencing time-outs trying to connect, or extreme timeouts in the auth procedure. dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts):

Hi, I am using wine-0.9.30 (self compiled) on a Debian 3.1 server. Wine is required for CUI-applications, so no X-Server is running. When I log in via ssh and start the application, wine is working fine. But whenever I try it from the webserver via php-script, wine doesn't start properly. It fills the errout with "epoll_ctl: Operation not permitted" unitl I send a SIGKILL to the

Hi, I'm not exactly sure that this is caused by wine. But maybe someone have already met this. I have wine 20050628 setup on Mandriva Linux 10.2. I am seeing the stream of epoll_ctl: Operation not permitted in the .xsession-errors It take about a day to fill a 10G partition I think it is connected with audio card, so I switched off the audio system in wine (I don't need it anyway),

i use openbsd/i386, dovecot-1.0b3, i see some kevent error/warning message in maillog like this: -------------------------------------------------------- imap(username): kevent(1) in io_loop_handle_add() failed: Bad file descriptor imap(username): kevent(1) in io_loop_handle_remove failed: Bad file descriptor --------------------------------------------------------

We have now some new big features: - Beginnings of dbox mailbox format. It should work, but if you happen to delete/break index files, the mails aren't found again. So really not a good idea to use it for more than testing. - GSSAPI (Kerberos 5) support by Jelmer Vernooij with some fixes by pod@herald.ox.ac.uk - Added dictionary API to Dovecot, similar to what Postfix has. It can be used

When we upgrade our kernels from 2.6.32.2 to 3.2.16 something strange has happened. On high traffic dovecot/auth looks like not responding. We found a lot of this lines at the log: dovecot: pop3-login: Error: net_connect_unix(pop3) failed: Resource temporarily unavailable (...) and clients stop authorizing Some other errors follow in the wake of: dovecot: pop3: Error: Raw backtrace:
