Trying to make dovecot-imap server run under linux
(Linux tigaon 2.6.25-4.slh.3-sidux-686 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri May 23 21:58:49
\
UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux)
The following config generates the error:
dovecot: Aug 18 13:33:51 Error: auth(default): passwd-file /etc/passwd: \
User root has invalid UID 0)
but if some other is used it can't access the /etc/shadow file!!
Any pointers?
