dovecot - Aug 2005 - How is the correct "auth" method selected in 1.0-stable?

In the example config for 1.0-stable, I see several "auth <blah>
{}"
blocks.  The only one uncommented is the "auth default{}" block.  How
does dovecot decide which one to use?  If I want it to use LDAP,
should I just modify the "userdb" and "passdb" entries in
the "auth
default" block?  Or should I be using the "auth ldap" block and
somehow telling dovecot to use it?

Thanks!

Just modify userdb/passdb entries. If you define multiple auth blocks,
Dovecot tries all of them in more-or-less random order and use the first
one that works.

With 1.0-tests things have changed and there really shouldn't ever be
more than one auth block.
