[Eric PENOT]

Hi

I have some problemes when dovecot read it's config file dovecot.conf

My config is :  

Linux distribution : Arch Linux 0.7.2 Gimmick UNDER  VMware session (VMware workstation version 5.5.2build 29772)
Linux kernel version 2.6.17
Dovecot version 1.0.rc17
GCC version 4.1.1

Using the 'dovecot-example.conf' as dovecot.conf => 

When Dovecot si compiled with : --with-file-offset-size=32 The Dovecot message is : Missing auth section for server default
When Dovecot si compiled with : --with-file-offset-size=64 The Dovecot message is : Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot.conf line 746: Expecting '='

Can someone help me please?

Regards
