dovecot - Feb 2012 - Fedora 16 configuration

Hello,

I am trying to get dovecot to work on a fedora 16 install with sendmail.
I have been able to get it to work in the past with dovecot.conf but not
with the new conf.d directory and associated config files.
I keep seeing this in maillog:

Feb  7 14:28:59 sendmail dovecot: pop3-login: Aborted login (no auth
attempts): rip=x.x.x.x, lip=x.x.x.x

And the mail client comes back with username or password invalid.
Is there instructions somewhere regarding fedora 16 installs?
I found this one and tried it to no avail:

Thanks in advance,

Cliff

From http://wiki2.dovecot.org/WhyDoesItNotWork:

Aborted login (no auth attempts) means that the client isn't even attempting
to log in. Most likely you have disable_plaintext_auth=yes (default) and the
client isn't configured to use SSL/TLS (or you've also set ssl=no).
