SOLVED: Ubuntu Lucid Alfresco 3.3g IMAP and authbind woes

cloudcontrol — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 21:16:50 GMT

Everything seems to be in place for authbind to work, but Alfresco 3.3g IMAP fails to bind to port 143. Binding to unprivileged ports works fine. Anyone have success binding to privileged ports with Alfresco 3.3g?/etc/default/tomcat6 line 60: AUTHBIND=yes/etc/authbind/byuid/107 (tomcat UID)= 0.0.0

Failure to bind is not logged in alfresco.log, but /var/log/tomcat6/catalina.out and error is:

Exception in thread "Thread-29" java.lang.RuntimeException: java.net.SocketException: No such file or directory
        at com.icegreen.greenmail.imap.ImapServer.run(ImapServer.java:53)

By Default, the file /etc/authbind/byuid/107 contained:

0.0.0.0/32:1,1023

The fix is changing this to:

x.x.x.x/32:1,1023

where x.x.x.x is your local IP address which resolves to your systems hostname.
