Dovecot auth problems?

I just ran 'make update' on dovecot which takes it to
'dovecot-1.0rc6nb2' and now I get this in
'/var/log/maillog' any ideas
how to fix this? I haven't changed the doveot.config, did
some looking
around but didn't find anything.

Aug 13 10:50:43 freda dovecot: auth(default): passwd-file
/etc/passwd:
User root has invalid UID 0
Aug 13 10:50:43 freda dovecot: auth(default): passwd-file
/etc/passwd:
User toor has invalid UID 0
Aug 13 10:50:43 freda dovecot: Login process died too early
- shutting down
Aug 13 10:50:43 freda dovecot: child 870 (login) killed with
signal 11
Aug 13 10:50:43 freda dovecot: child 23038 (login) killed
with signal 11
Aug 13 10:50:43 freda dovecot: child 11024 (login) killed
with signal 11

thanks

I have the same issue with rc6 and with the nightly snapshot
from August 
12th.  Looks like some changes were made to the auth
signalling recently 
(at least since rc2, which is what I have running at
present) that may 
be responsible.

No solution yet, but I posted the same issue on the dovecot
mailing 
list, so hopefully Timo will have a clue and a solution.

 	I hit this and enabled ssl, after which all is working
again.

I've never run not-SSL, so that doesn't do it here.  You
enabled SSL 
by making an SSL listener, or adding ssl_disable=no, or ???

 	I believe 'ssl_disable = no' was the magic bullet for
me, though
 	IIRC 'pop3_uidl_format = %08Xv%08Xu' was also needed for
pop
 	users.

 	In case it helps have attached our (internal) dovecot
server
 	conf...

dovecot-1.0rc7 fixed the problem.
