Yes I did. I created a dovecot.conf file and placed this in it:

#passdb {
#  driver = pam
#}

It didn't work. Dovecot has so many individual conf files that it is
difficult to figure out where everything is. I really like the Postfix method
where the last rule wins. I have not figured out in what file the "pam"
setting resides that is being picked up by Dovecot.

Personally, I am not a fan of this multiple file configuration scenario.
