This path isn't configurable after installation. If you want to change it, use configure --localstatedir parameter.
It is true that I as a user do not have permissions to read this
file, however, I followed all the instructions to run as a rootless
user. I don't seem to be able to specify anywhere where this ssl- parameters file should be copied from.
Did you also give configure --prefix=$HOME? It should have put localstatedir under home directory.
base_dir = /usr/local/sb/daniel/rm/trunk/var/run/dovecot
I guess not, because you wouldn't need this either when prefix was set correctly.
1.0.rc15
Also since you're already compiling Dovecot yourself, would be a good idea to use a newer version than rc15.
