similar to: 1.2.3 - fchown failed messages

Hello all, I'm not sure if this question is better posed to a Fedora group because I have only had this problem since I upgraded from F9 to F11, but I figured that the specialised knowledge here might help me more... I have been getting these entries in syslog since upgrading. Today for instance I got: **Unmatched Entries** dovecot: Dovecot v1.2.0 starting up (core dumps disabled): 1

Hi there, after upgrading from 0.99 to 1.2, the following errors appear in the error log: Mar 09 15:50:23 POP3(cwchbodega): Error: fchown(/home/cwchbodega/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.log.newlock, -1, 12(mail)) failed: Operation not permitted (egid=653(cwchbodega), group based on /var/mail/cwchbodega) Mar 09 15:50:53 POP3(cwchbodega): Error:

Hi: I get the occasional error below. Is there something I don't have configured correctly? Or should I just ignore this? It is not always this file, sometimes it is the cache.lock file or the log.newlock file. I have a mail client running on my computer and my phone at the same time, could that have something to do with it? Nov 10 08:32:59 rabbitbrush dovecot: IMAP(bob):

I was glancing at my logwatch report when I noticed: dovecot: IMAP(robinmail): fchown(/home/robinmail/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.log.newlock, -1, 10(wheel)) failed: Operation not permitted (egid=100(users), group based on /var/mail/robinmail): 1 Time(s) dovecot: IMAP(robinmail): fchown(/home/robinmail/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.tmp, -1, 10(wheel)) failed: Operation not

Hi! I'd like to use deliver (dovecot-1.2.10) as LDA to deliver mails to my local users on my postfix-system. However, deliver tries to copy the filesystem permissions of the mail-spool-files to the user's index files, which doesn't work, since the files in /var/mail/ belong to the group 'mail'.

I am running a very small dovecot installation with only one user (me). I use the Solr indexer for indexing. Due to complicated reasons, I was forced to remove all the indexes and need to re-index everything. All the files in my Maildir are owned by md5i:mail (I am md5i), and have 660 permissions. All directories have the same user:group permissions, and 770 with the setguid bit set. (That

Wether the dlm_lock needs to access lvb or not depends on dlm_lock_resource it belongs to. So a new parameter "struct dlm_lock_resource *res" is added to dlm_new_lock() so that we can know if we need to allocate lvb for the dlm_lock. And we have to make the lockres availale for calling dlm_new_lock(). Signed-off-by: Wengang Wang <wen.gang.wang at oracle.com> ---

I was hoping this would be the right place to look for some help, I cannot make public folders get the right permissions. I continually get the fchown error in logs, and have googled high an low to find multiple solutions that do not work for me. I'm using maildir. I have sendmail with postfix distributing my mail. I created maildir's in each users personal directory. I then thought

I was able to get public folders to work with a dedicated account for the hierarchy and ACL's for individual users. I have location defined so that each user has a local index and control files location = maildir:/usr/mail/public/cs/mail:CONTROL=~/Maildir/CS:INDEX=~/Maildir/CS Now i am seeing the folliwing error in the logs. dovecot: IMAP(stephen): fchown() failed with file

Dear all, Getting lots of these errors in our maillog with the INDEX changed: dovecot: IMAP(ghenry): fchown() failed with file /home/ghenry/Maildir/index/.INBOX/dovecot.index.tmp: Operation not permitted For .log and .cache as well.

I'm getting 2 errors which are probably related, the second of which I haven't actually seen an issue with yet (I just found it looking at the error log) The issue is that I cannot change my subscriptions through Thunderbird (version 31.0). I created the subscriptions through Thunderbird, but now it won't let me change them. dovecot responds with sutff like this when I sniff

Hi, After upgrading to 1.2 I started getting fchown errors in the log. They look like: Jul 12 18:32:54 jukebox dovecot: deliver(kim): fchown(/data/mail/kim/.lists.mythtv-users/tmp/1247416373.M857540P19162.jukebox.alleroedderne.adsl.dk, -1, 500(k im)) failed: Operation not permitted (egid=12(mail), group based on /data/mail/kim/.lists.mythtv-users) I have tried to get rid of the by changing

I have some public mailboxes setup in 1.0.0, location = maildir:/egr/mail/shared/org:CONTROL=%h/Maildir/dovecot/public/control/org:INDEX=%h/Maildir/dovecot/public/indexes/org I also have a dovecot-shared file in the maildir folders so messages that are added to the inbox get a decent set of default permissions. However, I think dovecot is also trying to fchown the index files (stored in a user

Hi, I have dovecot 2.0.20 running (its an old version, I know, it came from the stable archive at OpenCSW) with Solaris SMF integration working fine. It enables and disables okay.

Hi, Since upgrading dovecot version (from somewhat ancient to 1.2.16), I see messages in the logs like these: Jan 15 00:55:17 srv0303 dovecot: POP3(obm03): fchown(/home/obm/obm03/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.tmp, -1, 8(mail)) failed: Operation not permitted (egid=1033(obm), group based on /var/mail/obm03) I know that this is because the mailbox in /var/mail has ownership username:mail.

I cant figure out permissions with Dovecot. I am new with this program and have tried setting the mail group to "mail" which is the group of my mailboxes which are located in /var/spool/mail. Here's the error I get. fs1 dovecot: imap(tl511insight): Error: chown(/home/tl511insight/mail/.imap/INBOX, -1, 12(mail)) failed: Operation not permitted (egid=504(tl511insight), group based

Hello, I'm preparing to convert from qpopper + UW-IMAP to dovecot. So far testing has gone very well. One problem we haven't figured out is that long-running POP sessions keep the mailbox locked, so that the MDA times out while trying to deliver. We're using "maildrop" as our MDA if that matters. We don't see this issue for dovecot IMAP sessions. During long-running
