In the logfile, i see this:
dovecot: Mar 18 16:24:30 Error: ssl-build-param: Can't create
temporary SSL parameters file /var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat.tmp:
Permission denied
dovecot: Mar 18 16:24:30 Error: child 21836 (ssl-build-param) returned
error 89
dovecot: Mar 18 16:24:30 Error: link(/var/lib/dovecot/ssl-
parameters.dat, /usr/local/sb/daniel/rm/trunk/var/run/dovecot/login/
ssl-parameters.dat.tmp) failed: Permission denied
dovecot: Mar 18 16:24:30 Error: file_copy(/var/lib/dovecot/ssl-
parameters.dat, /usr/local/sb/daniel/rm/trunk/var/run/dovecot/login/
ssl-parameters.dat) failed: No such file or directory
It is true that I as a user do not have permissions to read this
file, however, I followed all the instructions to run as a rootless
user. I don't seem to be able to specify anywhere where this ssl-
parameters file should be copied from.
Please note, I'm running this as user daniel (not root).
Btw, there seems to have been a ssl_parameters_file keyword in the
past, but it doesn't work with my version (nor with the latest 1.0.13).
non-SSL IMAP works fine, but obviously SSL has issues.
Thank you in advance for any help,
Daniel
