Update of /var/lib/cvs/dovecot
In directory talvi:/tmp/cvs-serv26941

Modified Files:
	dovecot-example.conf 
Log Message:
Removed security warnings from auth-master socket. They're not actually
true. The clients can only look up userdb data, which is practically the
same thing as what they can find from /etc/passwd (with system users of
course).
