[Dovecot] auth error after upgrading from 0.99 to 1 alpha...

[daniel petre]

well, i dont auth users in mysql via dovecot !
im authorising users in vpopmail, and vpopmail stores
logs in mysql, and the database isnt going away...

so its something else, here's my dovecot.conf, stripped
of comments :

protocols = imap pop3
ssl_disable = yes
disable_plaintext_auth = no
log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log
info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log
log_timestamp = "%b %d %H:%M:%S "
login_user = dovecot
login_process_size = 64
login_processes_count = 1
login_max_processes_count = 8
login_max_logging_users = 16
login_log_format_elements = user=<%u> method=%m rip=%r lip=%l %c
login_log_format = %$: %s
first_valid_uid = 50
mail_debug = yes
default_mail_env = maildir:%h/.maildir
mail_log_prefix = "%Us(%u): "
protocol imap {
}
protocol pop3 {
}
auth_verbose = yes
auth_debug = yes
auth default {
   mechanisms = plain
   passdb vpopmail {
     args =
   }
   userdb vpopmail {
   }
   user = root
}
