Hi,

We've had some issues with auth. /var/log/secure is full of 1000s of these lines:

Jun 4 19:12:08 khan dovecot-auth: pam_unix(dovecot:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=dovecot ruser= rhost=127.0.0.1 user=user123

Users can usually login OK with their ldap credentials, but occasionally logins slow to a crawl if not outright fail, esp people checking mail through Squirrelmail. Things get better after a dovecot restart. Googling around, I thought if we switched the order or disabled the second passdb we had configured for our dovecotadmin account, these failures would go away but that did not happen. Any thoughts or additional info I can provide? Pardon the unusual install prefix. We're trying to keep the source install separated from the ancient dovecot rpm shipped in rhel5.

Thanks,
Jurvis
