But 'dovecot -n' will be more useful.
dovecot doesn't seem to like "-n"
It must work.
"dovecot -n" command gives a clean output of the changed settings. Use it
instead of copy&pasting this file when posting to the Dovecot mailing list.
dovecot -n
Usage: dovecot [-F] [-c <config file>] [-p] [--exec-mail <protocol>] [--version] [--build-options] Fatal: Unknown argument: -n
Which service do you use to authenticate users?
saslauthd from cyrus
Sorry, I don't use it, but I think the problem is there.
Cyrus SASL is older than dovecot's SASL, so I don't think the problem is here.
Interestingly, installing nscd hides the problem. Perhaps a race condition?
