Hi, I have installed Dovecot 1.0.0 on a FreeBSD6.0 machine with Exim 4.66 and Vexim 1.5. When I restart the machine, dovecot does not load properly. The logs of /var/log/maillog are as: May 8 00:10:32 lhr dovecot: pop3-login: No authentication sockets found May 8 00:10:32 lhr dovecot: child 11478 (login) returned error 89 May 8 00:10:34 lhr dovecot: imap-login: No authentication sockets found May 8 00:10:34 lhr dovecot: child 11479 (login) returned error 89 When I kill it and then start it, then it starts working properly. /var/log/maillog:May 8 09:33:02 lhr dovecot: auth(default): Killed with signal 15 /var/log/maillog:May 8 09:33:02 lhr dovecot: Killed with signal 15 /var/log/maillog:May 8 09:33:13 lhr dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.0 starting up /var/log/maillog:May 8 09:33:13 lhr dovecot: auth-worker(default): mysql: Connected to 127.0.0.1 (exim) My configuration file is : lhr# dovecot -n # /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf protocols: imap pop3 listen(default): *:143 listen(imap): *:143 listen(pop3): * ssl_disable: yes disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login first_valid_uid: 90 last_valid_uid: 93 first_valid_gid: 90 last_valid_gid: 93 mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 pop3_uidl_format(default): pop3_uidl_format(imap): pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %08Xu%08Xv auth default: verbose: yes debug: yes passdb: driver: sql args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf Please help me in this regard.
