After recent openrc upgrade, I can not start dovecot anymore: $ sudo /etc/init.d/dovecot start * Use of the opts variable is deprecated and will be * removed in the future. * Please use extra_commands or extra_started_commands. * Starting dovecot ... * start-stop-daemon: pam error: Authentication failure * start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/sbin/dovecot' [ !! ] * ERROR: dovecot failed to start This does not produce any messages in syslog When I replace /etc/pam.d/start-stop-daemon with previous one, dovecto can be started like before. More exactly, only auth line for old ssd pam file is required to fix this issue for me. $ emerge --info dovecot openrc Portage 2.1.10.11 (default/linux/amd64/10.0, gcc-4.5.3, glibc-2.13-r4, 3.0.4-gentoo x86_64) ================================================================= System Settings ================================================================= System uname: Linux-3.0.4-gentoo-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_Duo_CPU_E7200_@_2.53GHz-with-gentoo-2.0.3 Timestamp of tree: Thu, 01 Sep 2011 23:00:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.2_p10 dev-lang/python: 2.7.2-r2, 3.1.3-r1, 3.2-r2 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.5-r2 dev-util/pkgconfig: 0.26 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.3 sys-apps/openrc: 0.9.0 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.5 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.68 sys-devel/automake: 1.9.6-r3, 1.11.1-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.21.1-r1 sys-devel/gcc: 4.5.3-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1-r1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.4-r1 sys-devel/make: 3.82-r1 sys-kernel/linux-headers: 2.6.39 (virtual/os-headers) sys-libs/glibc: 2.13-r4 Repositories: gentoo verlihub x-mine ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -pipe -fstack-protector" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/gnupg/qualified.txt" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/php/apache2-php5.3/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5.3/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5.3/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -pipe -fstack-protector" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-logs distlocks ebuild-locks fixlafiles fixpackages news parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch" FFLAGS="" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org" LANG="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_ALL="ru_RU.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="--progress" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/var/lib/layman/verlihub /usr/local/portage/mine" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="acl amd64 atm berkdb bzip2 caps cli cracklib crypt cxx dri fam gdbm gnutls gpm iconv ipv6 logrotate mmx modules mudflap multilib ncurses netlink nls nptl nptlonly openmp pam pcre perl pppd python readline server session sse sse2 ssl sysfs tcpd threads unicode xattr xml xorg zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache cgi cgid dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" CALLIGRA_FEATURES="kexi words flow plan stage tables krita karbon braindump" CAMERAS="ptp2" COLLECTD_PLUGINS="df interface irq load memory rrdtool swap syslog" ELIBC="glibc" GPSD_PROTOCOLS="ashtech aivdm earthmate evermore fv18 garmin garmintxt gpsclock itrax mtk3301 nmea ntrip navcom oceanserver oldstyle oncore rtcm104v2 rtcm104v3 sirf superstar2 timing tsip tripmate tnt ubx" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" PHP_TARGETS="php5-3" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev glint intel mach64 mga neomagic nouveau nv r128 radeon savage sis tdfx trident vesa via vmware dummy v4l" XTABLES_ADDONS="quota2 psd pknock lscan length2 ipv4options ipset ipp2p iface geoip fuzzy condition tee tarpit sysrq steal rawnat logmark ipmark dhcpmac delude chaos account" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_BUNZIP2_COMMAND, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS ================================================================= Package Settings ================================================================= net-mail/dovecot-2.0.14 was built with the following: USE="bzip2 caps ipv6 maildir (multilib) pam ssl zlib -cydir -doc -kerberos -ldap -managesieve -mbox -mdbox -mysql -postgres -sdbox -sieve -sqlite -suid -vpopmail" sys-apps/openrc-0.9.0 was built with the following: USE="(multilib) ncurses pam unicode -debug (-selinux)" Reproducible: Always
Uhm... I was too quick and did not notice, that I had openrc-0.9.0 Upgrade to 0.9.1 solves this problem, only warnings about extra_commands remain
