Or at least I think it wasn't... it may come back to that. One problem I had with debugging this, was that I've had no logging since the upgrade. Which eventually (as in: half an hour ago) led me to suspect the syslogd... and it turned out that I didn't have one: rainey:~# dpkg -S /etc/syslog.conf sysklogd: /etc/syslog.conf rainey:~# dpkg -l sysklogd Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-===========================-==================-==================-============================================================ rc sysklogd 1.5-6 i386 System Logging Daemon sysklogd exists for squeeze and sid, but not for wheezy and testing: http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/sysklogd It turns out debian has changed its preferred syslogd from sysklogd to rsyslog: http://wiki.debian.org/Rsyslog An "apt-get install rsyslog" installed the new syslogd and then dovecot started logging to /var/log/mail.log. It turns out the reason I can't log in, is that I'm trying a cram-md5 login, which none of the configured password providers can provide: May 9 15:08:47 rainey dovecot: auth: Fatal: CRAM-MD5 mechanism can't be supported with given passdbs May 9 15:08:47 rainey dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling for 60 secs Oh well!
