Are you sure you're using passwd passdb? Nowadays it only works with BSDs. Maybe you were using pam before?
If I change passdb to "pam", then dovecot will exist immediate with errors. See below:
Jul 22 22:16:34 hsiufen dovecot: Dovecot v1.0-stable starting up Jul 22 22:16:36 hsiufen dovecot: child 7893 (auth) returned error 89 Jul 22 22:16:36 hsiufen dovecot: Auth process died too early - shutting down Jul 22 22:16:36 hsiufen dovecot: auth(default): Unknown passdb type 'pam'
Maybe there is something else I should fix here instead of changing passdb?
Thanks.

Just found that my build host does not have pam-devel library installed. I suppose that might be the root of this particular problem. I will will install pam-devel and give it a try again.
