Public bug reported: Dovecot (an IMAP mail server) stopped accepting connections last night. This happened after libpam-smbpass was automatically upgraded. Removing the libpam-smbpass package dovecot works again.
Other users are reporting the same behavior here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2320889 >From /var/log/syslog: Apr 18 15:01:04 SERVER dovecot: imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2002, ret=1: SSL negotiation finished successfully [x.x.x.x] Apr 18 15:01:05 SERVER t of memory [2971] Apr 18 15:01:05 SERVER dovecot: auth-worker(2971): Error: pam(USER,x.x.x.x): pam_start() failed: Critical error - immediate abort Apr 18 15:01:11 SERVER dovecot: auth-worker(2971): Error: pam(USER,x.x.x.x): pam_start() failed: Critical error - immediate abort Apr 18 15:01:13 SERVER dovecot: imap-login: Debug: SSL alert: close notify [x.x.x.x] Apr 18 15:01:13 SERVER dovecot: imap-login: Debug: SSL alert: close notify [x.x.x.x] Apr 18 15:01:13 SERVER dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 2 attempts in 9 secs): user=<USER>, method=PLAIN, rip=x.x.x.x, lip=x.x.x.x, TLS, session=<OJk/f8kwbQDY5HAW> ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: libpam-smbpass 2:4.3.8+dfsg-0ubuntu0.14.04.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-70.90~14.04.1-generic 3.16.7-ckt25 Uname: Linux 3.16.0-70-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.19 Architecture: amd64 Date: Mon Apr 18 15:36:08 2016 InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-01-08 (466 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Server 14.04.1 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140722.3) OtherFailedConnect: Yes ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> SambaServerRegression: Yes SmbConfIncluded: No SourcePackage: samba UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: samba (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug trusty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1571883 Title: libpam-smbpass:amd64 (2:4.3.8+dfsg-0ubuntu0.14.04.2) causes PAM failure for dovecot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1571883/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
