[Dovecot] Imap auth problems

Hi,

We're having some really weird auth problems trying to setup a very  
basic dovecot imap server.

Even stranger is that we don't see any of the debug information in the  
logs even though we've set all the debug options to true.

Can anybody provide some suggestions.

Thanks,

-Noah
