dovecot - Sep 2003 - How do i load a configfile ?

hello,

this may be a very stupid question but how do i load a config file?
i didn't find the docs part which explains how to start the imapserver at
all. i have put this in my xinetd.conf:

service imap
{
        disable         = no
        socket_type     = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        wait            = no
        user            = root
        server          = /usr/local/dovecot/imap
        flags           = IPv4
}

and the server is running, but thats all. as u can see i have installed the
server in /usr/local/dovecot and i have put the config file in /etc,
/usr/local/etc and the programmdir itself - nothing worked. what commands
must i write in the xinetd.conf to get the server running ?

thanks

There's two possibilities: Run the "dovecot" binary which does
everything itself, or start imap-login from inetd.

So imap-login here :)

>which does everything itself
without loading the config file it dosen't do anything -  i can connect to
the server but thats all.
how should the server know where i store my mboxes etc.

i must load the config file - but how ?
