Hi,
I have recently moved a dovecot installation from 2.2.36 on RHEL7.9 onto 2.3.20 on Amazon Linux 2023 and I'm now seeing the error message in the title relating to /usr/bin/checkpassword (which doesn't exist on either). This is a project that I've inherited, and I've never used dovecot previously. I've been searching around for a couple of days trying to figure this out. Running out of ideas. Here's a slightly redacted snippet from dovecot.log Jan 04 17:23:22 auth: Debug: checkpassword (redacted@redacted.redacted.local,127.0.0.1,<6uwL/SEOzpt/AAAB>): Performing passdb lookup Jan 04 17:23:22 auth: Debug: checkpassword (redacted@redacted.redacted.local,127.0.0.1,<6uwL/SEOzpt/AAAB>): execute: /usr/ bin/checkpassword /usr/libexec/dovecot/checkpassword-reply Jan 04 17:23:22 auth: Fatal: execv(/usr/bin/checkpassword) failed: No such file or directory Jan 04 17:23:22 auth: Debug: checkpassword (redacted@redacted.redacted.local,127.0.0.1,<6uwL/SEOzpt/AAAB>): Received input: Jan 04 17:23:22 auth: Debug: checkpassword (redacted@redacted.redacted.local,127.0.0.1,<6uwL/SEOzpt/AAAB>): exit_status=84 Jan 04 17:23:22 auth: Error: checkpassword (redacted@redacted.redacted.local,127.0.0.1,<6uwL/SEOzpt/AAAB>): Child 106455 exited with status 84 Jan 04 17:23:22 auth: Debug: checkpassword (redacted@redacted.redacted.local,127.0.0.1,<6uwL/SEOzpt/AAAB>): Finished passdb lookup Jan 04 17:23:22 auth: Debug: auth (redacted@redacted.redacted.local,127.0.0.1,<6uwL/SEOzpt/AAAB>): Auth request finished Jan 04 17:23:24 auth: Debug: client passdb out: FAIL 1 user=redacted@redacted.redacted.local code=temp_fail Jan 04 17:23:24 imap-login: Info: Disconnected: Connection closed (auth service reported temporary failure): user=redacted@redacted.redacted.local, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured, session=<6uwL/SEOzpt/AAAB> Jan 04 17:23:24 auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=106456) Jan 04 17:23:24 auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=imap secured session=R5kq/SEO0Jt/AAAB lip=127.0.0.1 rip=127.0.0.1 lport=143 rport=39888 As part of the build process we overwrite the config files with ones which are presumably from a previous version. In particular there's an auth.conf file which contains :- !include auth-checkpassword.conf.ext and in turn that file contains the stanza :- passdb { driver = checkpassword args = /usr/bin/checkpassword } which is where I guess the problem lies. The thing is the config files are almost identical on both systems. Here's the dovecot -n output...
