Hi,

    I'm running on HPUX 11.11 and have installed dovecot 0.99.12 in my 
home directory.  I've been running it at home on FC2 and had no 
problems.  At work, on HPUX, when I modify the dovecot.conf file like is 
suggested in the wikki <http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/Rootless>, it 
will detach and I can telnet to the port I've chosen, but I don't get 
any response back after I connect.  Not other processes are getting 
launched when I connect.  I can run the libexec/imap and get capability 
information echoed to the terminal. 

    I tried the test builds and they seem to be hanging during the 
parsing of the .conf file.  The the process never goes into the background.

    Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could try to get things 
running?  Thanks very much.
