Package: courier-imap
Version: 4.3.0-1.
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
With IceWeasel and other IMAP clients I tested like SquirrelMail and Mutt,
most IMAP connections are broken.
With a new user created for testing purposes, you can run directly imapd :
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ imapd
* PREAUTH Ready.
INFO: LOGIN, user=tagada, ip=[127.0.0.1], port=[0], protocol=IMAP
* BYE Courier-IMAP server shut down by signal.
NOTICE: Disconnected during shutdown by signal, user=tagada, ip=[127.0.0.1],
headers=0, body=0, rcvd=0, sent=67, time=2
^C
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ groups
tagada
With my normal user, I get :
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ imapd
* BYE [ALERT] Fatal error: Account's mailbox directory is not owned by the
correct uid or gid: No such file or directory
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ groups
cdrom adm dialout fax floppy tape audio dip src video plugdev scanner chips
geneweb
strace gives more information :
stat64(".", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=8192, ...}) = 0
geteuid32() = 1000
getegid32() = 24
time(NULL) = 1197192917
write(1, "* BYE [ALERT] Fatal error: Accou"..., 122* BYE [ALERT] Fatal
error: Account's mailbox directory is not owned by the correct uid or gid:
No such file or directory
) = 122
exit_group(1) = ?
Process 21138 detached
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep :24: /etc/group
cdrom:x:24:chips,linux,gag
The cause seems that imapd incorrectly uses and checks group as the first
found in user's groups in /etc/group, as reported by the getegid32()
function.
