on the dovecot mailing list I ask about the problem. a guy answers that the problem is fixed by rc5. can i hope to have the rpm package of rc5 thanks
Yes I know about it, but our packages contain sieve and managesieve support, so we need sources for them too. Sieve sources are independent on dovecot version, but managesieve release must match dovecot release http://wiki.dovecot.org/ManageSieve http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/ and there is still no release for dovecot rc5 I've asked managesieve maintainer what is the current plan.
dovecot-1.2-0.rc5.1.fc11 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 11. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/dovecot-1.2-0.rc5.1.fc11
I've trimmed missing sources from old version to match actual dovecot release, building now... You can get unsigned packages here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1422473 or you can wait when they are pushed to updates
dovecot-1.2-0.rc5.2.fc11 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 11. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/dovecot-1.2-0.rc5.2.fc11
dovecot-1.2-0.rc5.2.fc11 has been pushed to the Fedora 11 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
It's the same with dovecot 1.2.1 and 1.2.2 in testing :-(
(In reply to comment #7) > It's the same with dovecot 1.2.1 and 1.2.2 in testing :-( could you write more detailed problem description, attach messages from log and attach dovecot.conf? thanks note: if it is not ldap related, please open new bug

I get the identically error : Aug 04 03:08:35 dovecot: Info: Dovecot v1.2.2 starting up (core dumps disabled) Aug 04 03:08:35 auth(default): Fatal: Support not compiled in for passdb driver 'ldap' Aug 04 03:08:35 dovecot: Fatal: Auth process died too early - shutting down I will open a new bug report if necessary.

there's no need to open new bug, it's still ldap related what modules (and versions do you use?) (output of rpm -qa dovecot | grep dovecot ) please attach your dovecot.conf
(In reply to comment #11) > what modules (and versions do you use?) (output of rpm -qa dovecot | grep > dovecot ) it should be: rpm -qa | grep dovecot
Hi, at the moment i use dovecot-1.2.1-0_96.fc11.i586 from atrpms, this works will ldap. If i use 1.2.2-1.20090728snap.fc11 from updates-testing or 1.2-0.rc2.1.fc11 from fedora i get the error above. Dovecot 1.2rc2 is really old and like 1.2.2-1.20090728snap no official version. What about the official 1.2.2 (with ldap :-) ) ??

Dovecot 1.2.2 was released with broken gssapi support, which was fixed in repository a few hours later.

If you have any sensitive data in the conf, you can replace them with something like "REMOVED".

If you have any sensitive data in the conf, >you can replace them with something like "REMOVED" If fedora use different default values then the original version we have a big problem because the output of "dovecot -n" is the official base for troubleshooting of dovecot and your statement implies fedora don't the official unmodified source code. "dovecot -n" shows only the difference from the dovecot configuration and the dovecot defaults. Stefan P.s.: I know the usage of sub and feature packages only from debian, not from fedora.

For Fedora, there are other sub-packages, use yum list 'dovecot*' to see them. dovecot, dovecot-ldap, dovecot-gssapi,... this is the only way how to separate functionality, because other way, you'll have to install ldap and kerberos libraries even if you need only pam. So if you want to use ldap, you need to have dovecot and dovecot-ldap installed (with matching version-release) see output of yum info dovecot-ldap for example > > >so... when using dovecot from Fedora, do you have installed all needed > >subpackages and with matching version-release?

Configuration is changed from "configure all you need" to "work out of the box" (pam used for authenticating users). It's also changed to match actual state of Fedora (for example accept ipv6 connections), security (disable plaintext auth by default), path to ssl keys matches directory where Fedora have them, ... There is one change in comment in dovecot.conf explaining this pretty well # Default values are shown for each setting, it's not required to uncomment -# those. These are exceptions to this though: .... -# <QUITE BIG PARAGRAPH FOLLOWS> .... to: # Default values are shown for each setting, it's not required to uncomment +# any of the lines. dovecot.conf is also preferred because it can be used for reproducing problem as is without rewriting and fixing/making new typos

I work since a long time with dovecot and fedora > and this brakes a working setup. In the official Fedora repository this exists for long time, in fact I can't remember if/when it was not this way. You can have some troubles if using dovecot from other repositories such as from atrpms. This is not official Fedora repository, so some problems can occur. > >There is one change in comment in dovecot.conf explaining this pretty well > If this changes are only at dovecot.conf, "dovecot -n" give all necessary > infos. for "no need to change" anything to work, these changes are both in dovecot.conf and dovecot itself > >dovecot.conf is also preferred because it can be used for reproducing problem > >as is without rewriting and fixing/making new typos > I think you get then normally an error from Dovecot the point is I can't use the dovecot -n output when trying to reproduce this. I have to create a config file from these values I can accidentally chagne valid not working value to valid working value. Another point is dovecot mailing list prefers dovecot -n output, because it's much smaller. In bugzilla, dovecot.conf is preferred.
