OK, i deleted the line and now i have a new problem:

Info: Dovecot v1.1.2 starting up
Info: Generating Diffie-Hellman parameters for the first time. This may
take a while..
Info: ssl-build-param: SSL parameters regeneration completed
Error: file_copy(/opt/dovecot/var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat,
       /var/run/dovecot_main/login/ssl-parameters.dat) failed: No such file
or directory
Fatal: pop3-login: chroot(/var/run/dovecot_main/login) failed: No such file
or directory
Error: Temporary failure in creating login processes, slowing down for now

The folder /var/run/dovecot_main was created at startup, just the
login directory not, why?

If i create the login folder by hand, dovecot is starting up normally,
but when i try to connect i get this message logged:

Fatal: imap-login: No authentication sockets found

It is filling up the file with this line, so i have to stop the
Process. 

At the moment i got it up and running by using an own auth-process
for every dovecot instance. But i would prefer authentification via
one single process.

Was just for testing. I was not sure what the error caused so i tried
a lot of things. I removed the line now.
