I presume it starts, although the ctl file provided in the wiki does 
nothing.
I start it with:
$ /usr/local/sbin/dovecot &

$ ps ax
/usr/local/etc/dovecot.con
  5262 ?        S      0:00 dovecot-auth
  5314 ?        S      0:00 imap-login
  5316 ?        S      0:00 imap-login
  5326 ?        S      0:00 imap-login

So, i guess it's running

Telnet says authentication failed.

I'm using qmail-ldap.

[root at mail2 config]# telnet mail2.telbit.pt 143
Trying 192.168.84.128...
Connected to mail2.telbit.pt (192.168.84.128).
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK Dovecot ready.
O LOGIN gamito at mail2.telbit.pt zooropa
O NO Authentication failed.

Any ideas ?

Warm Regards,
