Subject: [exim] dovecot authenticator and exim
mildly OT, but i'm sure someone here has an answer.

i'm trying to set up the dovecot authenticator
with exim. exim version is 4.66, dovecot is 1.0.rc27

dovecot is insisting on putting the authentication
process in /var/run/dovecot/auth-worker.<pid>,
the presence of the pid making it hard to write the
exim configuration. the dovecot documentation of the
config file is hard to follow, and it appears that 1.0.rc27
may not follow it precisely anyway.

anyone have any experience or suggestions for this?

thanks,
richard
