From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040422 Description of problem: On a fresh install of dovecot, the /etc/dovecot.conf file is setup it seems for only imap intially, and should be setup for pop3 as well. Also the auth lines toward the bottom seem to point to a location/file that don't exist, mainly auth_userdb and auth_passdb And because of above, dovecot won't start. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dovecot-0.99.10.4-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install dovecot 2.service dovecot start 3. Actual Results: service dovecot start show the OK but doesn't start up any daemons. Expected Results: service dovecot start should start up the daemon and allow imap and pop3 initially to run unless the user doesn't want one or the other. Additional info: The main 3 lines at least that I see that need auth_userdb = pgsql /usr/local/etc/dovecot-pgsql.conffixed are below.. #protocols = imap imaps should be protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s auth_userdb = pgsql /usr/local/etc/dovecot-pgsql.conf should be below.. auth_userdb = passwd auth_passdb = pgsql /usr/local/etc/dovecot-pgsql.conf should be below... auth_passdb = shadow I've also attached my dovecot.conf file if you want to compare.
Created attachment 99868 [details] Config file
I have set auth_userdb = passwd and auth_passdb = pam. I will not set default protocols because by default it works with imap and imaps, and the administrator has the option of changing this.
The package update was past the freeze deadline, so it has been rejected. It will go out as a FC2 update later.
