Timo,
Thanks !
Just looking for a way to scripting the resetting of the auth-cache ..
I noticed the dovecot-auth process does not have a PID file as the
Dovecot master has (or perhaps I missed it ...)
In a debian machine (running Version 1.2.4)
Could I just grab the pid number from the auth socket:
ls /var/run/dovecot/auth-worker* | sed 's/.*auth-worker\.//'
10650
cat /var/run/dovecot/master.pid
10649
ps -ef | grep auth
root 10650 10649 0 Sep12 ? 00:00:03 dovecot-auth
root 10656 10649 0 Sep12 ? 00:00:00 dovecot-auth -w
These are the contents of /var/run/dovecot/ (3 sockets and one PID file :
auth-master
auth-worker.10650
dict-server
master.pid
Regards,
M.A.

Thanks a lot for your help.
But with this behavior, we will have to modify our scripts to perhaps
clear up/reset the cache after changing User Quotas ....
You can reset auth cache by sending dovecot-auth process SIGHUP. I'd
guess changing quota values is somewhat rare so this shouldn't be much
of a performance issue. Anyway, the whole point of auth cache is to
cache the lookups so everything is working as it should..
