hi
im trying to install dovecot and use ldap as the backend and i get the
following error
srv:/root# telnet localhost 143
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

i cant understand why is place 2 times the username in the uid= for search.
my dovecot.conf:
passdb ldap {
args = /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf
}
userdb ldap {
args = /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf
}
my dovecot-ldap.conf:
base = ou=Company,ou=Ath,dc=company,dc=gr
deref = never
scope = subtree
user_attrs = uid,homeDirectory,,uid,uidNumber,gidNumber
user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u))
pass_attrs =
uid=user,userPassword=password,homeDirectory=userdb_home,uidNumber=userdb_uid,gidNumber=userdb_gid
where it my be the fault?
Thanks
Atn
