i'm using FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE on a mailserver with
dovecot (dovecot-1.0.b7_1 from ports) and a mysql-db without any
problems (pop3s and imaps)

earlier i had FreeBSD 5.4 working fine with dovecot using regular
"unix-style" password-files

maybe i missed earlier emails from you, but is there a certain reason
you want to use pam-auth only (with 1.0rc2) ?
