[Dovecot] Certs file

I'm running 1.0rc23 on FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE, and seeing the following:

Starting dovecot.
Error: Can't use SSL key file /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem: No such  
file or directory

In the config file I have:

ssl_cert_file=/usr/local/certs/imapd.pem

Looking for dovecot.pem on the config file there's only:

% grep dovecot.pem dovecot.conf
#ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem
#ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem

So the two entries referencing dovecot.pem are commented out. I  
removed those two lines anyway, just in case, but it didn't make a  
difference.

What am I missing? I'd love to include the output of 'dovecot -n' but...

% dovecot -n
# /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf
Error: Can't use SSL key file /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem: No such  
file or directory

Thanks,
