I just finished setting up a test Dovecot server (1.0-rc15, Solaris 10) and noticed upon start of Dovecot (after rebooting the server) that the imap-login and pop3-login processes spew errors as follows, which I can only assume is due to the fact that dovecot-auth has not fully initialized yet... it seems to me that these login processes are getting started too early, or should at least be waiting for dovecot-auth to get started.
