mail_location maildir:~/Maildir Invalid user settings[SOLVED]

Hallo list,

I was having quite a hard time configuring dovecot on OpenBSD -current.

The problem was default Maildir setting in 10-mail.conf, namely:
mail_location maildir:~/Maildir
was unable to locate user's home directory.
As far as I can remember, it was the correct setting on
OpenBSD-current a week or two ago.
Once I figured out and changed it to
mail_location maildir:/path/to/home/%u/Maildir
the problem was solved.

Attached are dmesg, maillog and doveconf -n output.

Dovecot makes use of an user's home dir in some situations. You should 
investigate the problem further, esp. if you think about to enable Sieve.

Actally, you worked around the problem. Dovecot seems to have problems to 
read the home dir from /etc/passwd.
Do you have some Unix-hardening stuff ( Mandatory Access Control, 
Systrace) in place?
