Hi, I can reproduce in the current testing (squeeze).
libpam-dotfile 0.7-4 dovecot-common 1:1.2.9-1 libpam0g 1.1.0-4 without the "fork" option in the (in this case) /etc/pam.d/smtp file, dovecot will fail to authenticate. /etc/pam.d/smtp: auth sufficient pam_dotfile.so no_warn fork auth required pam_deny.so extract from /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: auth default { passdb pam { args = max_requests=1 %Ls } socket listen { client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } } } /usr/lib/dovecot/authtest -a /var/spool/postfix/private/auth -s smtp <user> <password> fails if the "fork" option is removed. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell s...@canb.auug.org.au http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qa-packages-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
