Hi All,

I've got a brand new dovecot installation.  I'm new to dovecot, so please be gentle  :-)

Anyway,
I'm getting some errors when I try to connect to dovecot. I've tried
searching the web and haven't been able to find a lot of information. 
Here's the config info:

# dovecot --version
1.1.2
# dovecot -n
sudo dovecot -n
# 1.1.2: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf
base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/
log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log
ssl_disable: yes
disable_plaintext_auth: no
login_dir: /var/run/dovecot//login
login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login
mail_location: /var/mail/%u
auth default:
  verbose: yes
  passdb:
    driver: passwd-file
    args: /etc/dovecot/passwd
  userdb:
    driver: static
    args: uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/mail/%u
#

Here are the errors I'm getting.
