RH init script problem

Another problem happens during RH's init scripts after you reboot. By default dovecot uses /var/run/dovecot/login/ as a directory to create unix sockets for login. RH's init script displays an error messages when I tries to remove /var/run/*/* files because it is a directory, not a file. I changed dovecot's default to /var/run/dovecot and it now avoids this error.

Rather make a new directory for it, eg. /var/run/dovecot-login. Currently it's not that important, but it might change in future. Or actually I think it breaks if Dovecot is started via inetd, because it creates a socket in /var/run/dovecot which would conflict with auth sockets.
