Tonight I source-upgraded a FreeBSD system from i386 6.3p5 to i386
6.4-R. I have postfix 2.5.5 and dovecot 1.1.7 installed with postfix
using dovecot for SASL and dovecot LDA for mailbox delivery. After
installing 6.4-R, postfix refused to work until I recompiled and
reinstalled both it and dovecot. Dovecot itself (i.e., the IMAP server)
worked fine. Postfix worked fine if I set smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=no and
defer_transports=dovecot, effectively preventing postfix from using any
dovecot bits. Examples of the logged errors:
Before reinstalling anything:
postfix/pipe[36617]: fatal: get_service_attr: unknown group: vmail
Sounds like that you have did something really bad during mergemaster?
(i.e. installed /etc/group without actually doing merge) and in turn the
group gets removed...
The only change to /etc/group was the CVS ID tag. Group resolution
worked for other programs--ls showed "vmail" rather than the numeric
gid, chown worked with :vmail, etc.
I verified libraries matched with another 6.4-R system. I power cycled
the system thinking there may have been stale libraries or some
mysterious form of cache corruption in memory; however, the problem
persisted.
The problem didn't go away until I rebuilt the ports.
