I'm trying to get IMAPS working with dovecot-1.0.beta9.  I'm building it 
on a Solaris 10 box, with openssl-0.9.8b installed.  Here is the results 
of my ./configure:

Install prefix ...................... : /usr/local/dovecot-1.0.beta9
File offsets ........................ : 64bit
I/O loop method ..................... : poll
File change notification method ..... : none
Building with SSL support ........... : yes (OpenSSL)
Building with IPv6 support .......... : yes
Building with pop3 server ........... : yes
Building with GSSAPI support ........ : no
Building with user database modules . : static prefetch passwd 
passwd-file checkpassword (modules)
Building with password lookup modules : passwd passwd-file shadow pam 
checkpassword (modules)
Building with SQL drivers ............:

I've attached a copy of my dovecot.conf file (striped of comments).  
When I try running dovecot I get the following error:
Error: socket() failed: Protocol not supported
Fatal: listen(993) failed: Protocol not supported

When I change ssl_disable = no to ssl_disable = yes, everything works.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Cheers
Jeff
