Nope, just one that is started the default way (/etc/init.d/dovecot start at startup). > > > It shouldn't be regenerated at startup as long as the file exists.

Ok, i rechecked: I got /var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat but it is not linked to /var/run/dovecot/login/ssl-parameters.dat, it's a completely different file. And it is broken and has a length of 80Bytes. I deleted /var/run/dovecot/login/ssl-parameters.dat, shut down dovecot and ran "/usr/lib/dovecot/ssl-build-param /var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat" which fixed that file (brought it to 230 bytes). A restart of dovecot copied that file to /var/run/dovecot/login/ssl-parameters.dat. So the issue seems to be somewhat fixed though I still don't know why the bogus /var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat was created. -- ICQ #81510866 - http://the-gay-bar.com - jabber ta...@jabber.org Occam's Razor: -"Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem."-
