Hey everyone, I'm running 5.4-current and using dovecot-2.2.5p0 from the default package repository.
When starting dovecot, it fails with multiple too many open files errors: Sep 21 21:07:46 core dovecot: master: Dovecot v2.2.5 starting up Sep 21 21:07:46 core dovecot: master: Error: service(director): pipe() failed: Too many open files Sep 21 21:07:46 core dovecot: master: Error: service(dict): pipe() failed: Too many open files Sep 21 21:07:46 core dovecot: master: Error: service(config): pipe() failed: Too many open files Sep 21 21:07:46 core dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): pipe() failed: Too many open files Sep 21 21:07:46 core dovecot: master: Error: service(auth-worker): pipe() failed: Too many open files As per this: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/mail/dovecot/pkg/README-server?rev=1.1 I've created a separate login class for dovecot (I'm not using the login.conf.db db) with higher limits: # tail -5 /etc/login.conf # Dovecot _dovecot:\ :openfiles-cur=2048:\ :openfiles-max=4096:\ :tc=daemon: Changed the _dovecot user to be in it: Login: _dovecot Uid [#]: 518 Gid [# or name]: 518 Class: _dovecot Home directory: /nonexistent Shell: /sbin/nologin Full Name: Dovecot Account Yet I'm still getting the same errors. Any ideas? Best regards, Nikola Gyurov
