[Dovecot] dovecot from debian lenny-backports does not accept connections

[Joelly Alexander]

found the error - i had a typo in dovecot.conf

lock_method: fnctl
should be
lock_method: fcntl

dovecot reload does not show a problem, only a stop/start generated the entry in the logfile....

two days for a stupid typo....

thanks!
