In the example config for 1.0-stable, I see several "auth <blah> {}" blocks. The only one uncommented is the "auth default{}" block. How does dovecot decide which one to use? If I want it to use LDAP, should I just modify the "userdb" and "passdb" entries in the "auth default" block? Or should I be using the "auth ldap" block and somehow telling dovecot to use it?

Just modify userdb/passdb entries. If you define multiple auth blocks, Dovecot tries all of them in more-or-less random order and use the first one that works.

With 1.0-tests things have changed and there really shouldn't ever be more than one auth block.
