Package: mon Version: 1.2.0-1 Severity: important Tags: upstream
/usr/lib/mon/mon.d/imap.monitor has substantial undocumented changes from the Lenny version (0.99.2-13), which likely break existing installations. In Lenny, the IMAP monitor would cheack only that the IMAP server displayed a correct banner; in Squeeze, the IMAP monitor attempts to login with the command A1 LOGIN ANONYMOUS ANONYMOUS which requires an account called ANONYMOUS with the password ANONYMOUS (as distinct from, say, attempting to use the ANONYMOUS authentication scheme documented in RFC4505 and supported by dovecot). This change is not documented and is not something I'm prepared to setup on production systems; I would expect this behaviour to not be the default, and that it should at a minimum require the user to specify the credentials to use with command-line options, falling back to the existing behaviour if none are supplied.
