dovecot - Mar 2006 - virtual users

Hello All.
I've been reading the virtual user howto but cant get the login
working.  dovecot.conf is below [0] if anyone can offer some pointers.

I'm confused about the format of /etc/imap.passwd [1] also.  Does
the "pass" word in the example need to be plaintext, or the MD5
string from do.  Also, what is the significance of "{plain}"?

If there are docs I've missed, please RTFM with a link.
Thanks



[0] - dovecot.conf
-----------------------------------
protocols = imap imaps
mail_debug = no

protocol imap {
}

protocol pop3 {
}

auth_verbose = no
auth_debug = no
auth_debug_passwords = no

auth default {
   mechanisms = plain

   passdb passwd-file {
     args = /etc/imap.passwd
   }

   userdb passwd {
   }

   userdb passwd-file {
    args = /etc/imap.passwd
   }

   user = root
}

plugin {
}

Just a follow-up, this config worked fine.  Problem seems to be I had
the user setup with a login account and an imap virtual account.  whoops.
