It took a good ten minutes to generate the ssl-parameters.dat file on Solaris on an Sun Ultra 5 (probably counts as a slow machine!) during which logins were hanging.
It was much quicker on the real mail server (Sun V480 with quad processors)
I'd vote for starting with some pregenerated ones, generating them when Dovecot starts (rather at the first SSL login) or somehow making it clear that the generation is still going on. I was about to email you to say it wasn't working; trussing the login process seemed to suggest it was looping :-
Ah, sorry, it *is* generated by the master process and the login process was looping waiting for it. Maybe the master process shouldn't detach from the console until it's done or something?
Best Wishes, Chris
