Hi,
I have installed latest Dovecot 1.0.13 on a FreeBSD 6.2 with XMail
(www.xmailserver.org). It works OK except one thing: error on startup.
After each reboot there are lots of such error:
dovecot: Mar 28 08:54:38 Error: child 916 (login) returned error 89
dovecot: Mar 28 08:54:54 Error: imap-login: No authentication sockets found
When I restart dovecot by running startup script
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/dovecot.sh restart the problem disappears. I have to
manually restart dovecot after each reboot. Below is used conf file
$ dovecot -n
# 1.0.13: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf

I googled and found similar post at
http://www.mail-archive.com/dovecot@dovecot.org/msg01793.html,
http://www.mail-archive.com/dovecot@dovecot.org/msg01798.html and
http://www.mail-archive.com/dovecot@dovecot.org/msg01831.html
but answers there don't meet my case. I don't use sql backend. And
startup script doesn't delete /var/run/dovecot/ directory after Dovecot
is started. After booting when error still there I have in this directory:
$ ls /var/run/dovecot
auth-master dict-server login master.pid
If restart dovecot (working OK):
$ ls /var/run/dovecot
auth-master auth-worker.960 dict-server login master.pid
As we see dovecot works when there appears a file named auth-worker.960
(the number 960 changes each time it restarted).
Please help me to fix this. Thanks in advance.
