Summary

Dovecot is an IMAP server for Linux/UNIX-like systems, written with security

primarily in mind. It also contains a small POP3 server. It supports mail

in either of maildir or mbox formats.

- apply patch to prevent confusion when nss implementation is broken (nss_ldap)

and returns wrong user info

* Thu Jun 16 2005 John Dennis - 0.99.14-7.fc4

- change permission of %{ssldir}/dovecot.pem to 644 from 600

* Thu Jun 16 2005 John Dennis - 0.99.14-6.fc4

- fix bug #160277

default /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem changed to /etc/pki/dovecot.pem

if ssl_cert_file was not set in dovecot.conf file (which it was by the rpm)

then hardcoded default was /etc/pki/certs/dovecot.pem, which didn't match

the new path of /etc/pki/dovecot/dovecot.pem (note subdir certs deprecated)

- fix bug #160679

wrong permissions on /etc/pki/dovecot/dovecot.pem, needs to be readable by

more than root.

* Thu Apr 28 2005 John Dennis - 0.99.14-5.fc4

- fix bug #156159 insecure location of restart flag file
