[Bug 623520] Re: dovecot reports Invalid configuration in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf in all cases

[Carl Nobile]

Sorry for putting this directly into the post, but I was not on site
when I ran the command and it was a lot easier to just grab the screen
output an past it in.

These are the certs and keys on my box.

$ ll /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-mail.pem 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 2010-07-28 22:19 /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-mail.pem -> /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem

$ sudo ls -l /etc/ssl/private/ssl-mail.key
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 2010-07-28 22:19 /etc/ssl/private/ssl-mail.key -> /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key

I also cannot get dovecot to stop looking in the /root dir, so my log is
full of error messages about permissions being denied.
