It looks as if it worked.
Yes, it worked after the downgrade was complete, but the 051002 17:42:08 connection was the same day, the same time frame (21 seconds later). It worked from the command line, but not from Dovecot. >> *** End Log Snipet *** >> >> The 17:42:08 connection is when I: >> # mysql -u abbc -p >> logged in from the command line using the password in the dovecot config >> file. >> >> I didn't touch the dovecot config file after downgrading, and I used the same >> .sql file to populate the database with both version of MySQL, so the >> password >> was unchanged. > >So you're saying that the authentication problem was despite proven >good user name and password? Yes. That is exactly what I'm saying. >It's not clear that there was anything wrong on the morning of 3 >October. Did you give up or continue? I deinstalled 4.1.14 later on the 2nd and started recompiling 4.0.26. I finished installing and fixing downgrade issues on the 3rd, at which time dovecot connected successfully. >There have been some changes to authentication (in particular, >password hashing) between 4.0 and 4.1.

I'm not saying anything is wrong with 4.1, I was just trying to point out that there *may* in some cases be compatibility issues with 4.1. It doesn't *always* play nice with others, as the OP claimed, and as you say, its probably a dovecot issue, but downgrading solved it nicely. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
