Hello,

I just download dovecot 1.0b8 and compiled and installed from sources. After setting some default configurations, here's what I get:

[root@ba root]# dovecot [root@ba root]# Fatal: sigaction(SIGRTMIN) failed: Invalid argument

Here`s my configuration:

Base directory where to store runtime data.

base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/

Protocols we want to be serving:

imap imaps pop3 pop3s

protocols = imap

protocol imap { listen = *:10143

ssl_listen = *:10943

..

}

Disable SSL/TLS support.

ssl_disable = yes

Use this logfile instead of syslog(). /dev/stderr can be used if you want

to

use stderr for logging (ONLY /dev/stderr - otherwise it is closed).

log_path = /dev/stderr

For informational messages, use this logfile instead of the default

info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-info.log

everything in this directory is deleted when Dovecot is started.

login_dir = /var/run/dovecot/login

default_mail_env = maildir:/var/mail/%1u/%u/Maildir

default_mail_env = mbox:/home/webmail/:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u

auth default {

Space separated list of wanted authentication mechanisms:

plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 ntlm rpa apop anonymous gssapi

mechanisms = plain

/etc/passwd or similar, using getpwnam()

In many systems nowadays this uses Name Service Switch, which is

configured in /etc/nsswitch.conf.

userdb passwd { } user = root }

This is really weird. I`ve installed it on another server, which has the same configuration and it shows the same error messsage.

BTW, both servers are DELL PowerEdge 2600, running Conectiva 9

(outdated... but I`m in a production environment and changing is not trivial).

thanks in advance for any help.

I`ve tried to run dovecot many times in my system (Conectiva Linux 9) and was unable to do so. For some reason it gives this message and quits - never runs.

What message is that, exactly, that it is giving you before quitting?
