IMAP unable to log in

[sych44]

Hi

While POP3 works perfectly fine, and the mail is delivered as it should, I am having problems logging in with IMAP.

I have it running properly, the client is able to connect to service (it wirks via inetd)

The system is FreeBSD 6, fresh install

Log entries:

/var/log/messages:

Jul 6 18:51:59 bender imapd[90113]: Login failed user=*@* auth=*@* host=localhost [127.0.0.1]
Jul 6 18:52:50 bender imapd[90366]: Login failed user=*@*auth=*@* host=localhost [127.0.0.1]
Jul 6 18:53:45 bender imapd[90586]: Login failed user=*@* auth=*@* host=localhost [127.0.0.1]
Jul 6 18:54:31 bender imapd[90717]: Login failed user=*@* auth=*@* host=localhost [127.0.0.1]

(this is when connectiong via roundcuve)

/var/log/maillog:

Jul 6 18:53:48 bender imapd[90586]: Command stream end of file, while reading line user=*@* host=localhost [127.0.0.1]

... and similar

dovecot.conf auth section:

auth default {
mechanisms = plain
passdb passwd {
}

passdb passwd-file {
args = /etc/virtual/%d/passwd
}

userdb passwd {
}

userdb passwd-file {
args = /etc/virtual/%d/passwd
}
user = root

}

IMAP section is empty (i.e. only the default commented-out stuff)

When starting-restarting, services do not throw any errors in logs.

What may be wrong and what should I check?

Any one? Any ideas what may be wrong?

If you want help you should really give us information we can use to help you.

What else should we check, and what information would help to identify the problem?

have you tried with imap+thunderbird?

the Command stream end of file, while reading line user=*@* host=localhost [127.0.0.1]
isn't always an error as many clients don't bother to close the connection as the service excepts...
