Hi!,
I Install dovecot version 2.1.16 on CentOS 6.4 x86_64. When I try to test the installation (by telnet localhost imap) the following error occurs: "auth: Fatal: Support not compiled in for passdb driver 'pam'". I do not discover what caused this. Here I leave the configuration data and the log. Thanks
