Well, I have 1.0alpha5 installed, and have matched these lines in the 
dovecot.conf file.  Now I got
Error...... unknown setting: passdb

Looking at the examples I took out the '=' and it seemed to pass that 
line, but then

Error..... unknown setting: userdb

Taking out the '=' this time just leads to

Error.... expecting '='

Any ideas, please?
