[Dovecot] Fatal: Login process must not run as root

[santhosh]

hi,

Sorry...... I am using dovecot1.0.0

./dovecot -n

# /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf
log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log
info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot-info.log
ssl_disable: yes
disable_plaintext_auth: no
login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login
login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login
login_user: balaji
mail_extra_groups: mail
mail_location: mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
mail_debug: yes
auth default:
  user: santhosh
  passdb:
    driver: passwd-file
    args: /etc/passwd.dovecot
  userdb:
    driver: passwd

Now i am able to run the dovecot. I din't understand the  below mentioned 
line

auth default:
  user: santhosh
  passdb:
    driver: passwd-file
    args: /etc/passwd.dovecot
  userdb:
    driver: passwd


How to create users in the dovecott ?

Regards,
Santhosh
