Ive been runing dovecot on a fc6 dell poweredge 2950 for about 4

everything looked fine
login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login
auth default:

Just FYI, you are not authenticating [dovecot] against OpenLDAP; you're
authenticating using PAM, and it's PAM who is doing the LDAP lookups
via nss_ldap. (http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/Passwd)
Did you have all the other 'old' (30d+) files in /var/run/dovecot/
before having restarted the daemon(s)? Any chance you saved a ls -l of
that dir somehow? One thing to check is if the socket alone
disappeared, or if others (the PID file, for example) were also gone.
Since they'd typically have the same datetime stamp, it would provide a
clue...

Sorry,
Yes I knew I was authenticating against pam. Didnt do an ls -l of the
/var/run/dovecot. Wouldnt a restart of dovecot fix that though?
