dovecot - Oct 2006 - Using saslauthd with dovecot

FreeBSD 6.1 STABLE
Postfix-2.4-20061006
Dovecot-1.0.rc7

I am using 'saslauthd -a sasldb -c' for authentication with Postfix.
Since Dovecot and Postfix are using the same users and passwords, I was
wondering if it would be possible to use this mechanism with Dovecot
also.
