Re: [webmin-l] dovecot version reporting

[Obantec S. <su...@ob...>]

Hi

as the originator of this thread i tried and here's the result

RPM version
[root@proteus2a admin]# /usr/sbin/dovecot --version
0.99.11

SRC version
[root@proteus2a admin]# /usr/local/sbin/dovecot --version
1.0-stable

So that's what's needed. as i built dovecot from source but the rpm is still
there as is the original binary and .conf

I'll leave it up to Jamie if he can add the necessary in the next release.

Thanks for the info Alan

Mark

Dovecot has no way of displaying its version number, unlike other programs..
