I am seeing this about ever 10-11 seconds Jan 2 16:24:07 shiva org.dovecot.dovecotd[22677]: Warning: Last died with error (see error log for more information): Auth process died too early - shutting down Jan 2 16:24:07 shiva dovecot[22677]: Fatal: auth(default): Unknown authentication mechanism 'none' Jan 2 16:24:07 shiva dovecot[22677]: Fatal: Auth process died too early - shutting down Jan 2 16:24:07 shiva com.apple.launchd[1] (org.dovecot.dovecotd[22677]): Exited with exit code: 89 Jan 2 16:24:07 shiva com.apple.launchd[1] (org.dovecot.dovecotd): Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
The machine is NOT running dovecot (or any mail service), but it appears this gets loaded by default by OS X Server. I've done # launchctl remove org.dovecot.dovecotd but it seems to be coming back. If I look at the org.dovecot.dovecotd.plist file I see: # cat /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.dovecot.dovecotd.plist <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Disabled</key> <true/> <key>Label</key> <string>org.dovecot.dovecotd</string> <key>OnDemand</key> <false/> <key>Program</key> <string>/usr/sbin/dovecotd</string> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>dovecotd</string> <string>-F</string> </array> <key>ServiceIPC</key> <false/> <key>HardResourceLimits</key> <dict> <key>NumberOfFiles</key> <integer>8192</integer> </dict> <key>SoftResourceLimits</key> <dict> <key>NumberOfFiles</key> <integer>8192</integer> </dict> </dict> </plist> It seems to me that the Disabled key should be preventing this process from even trying to start, yet it tries to start ever 10 seconds or so. -- 'Good and bad is tricky, she [Esme] said.
