I don't know why I had both enabled to start with, but you only need the
shadow entry.

Looks to be not the end of the troubles with dovecot.
I get this when a connection is attempted:

Apparently has something to do with glibc and how it is compiled
judging by the message on gmane:

Just a guess, but:  check your kernel config.  See if CONFIG_INOTIFY is set.   
If not, recompile with that set and see if it behaves better.

Reading that thread, it would appear that for this to happen you have to
have installed =linux-headers-2.6.16 but not recompiled glibc. Check the
dates from 

genlop glibc
genlop linux-headers

If the former is earlier, re-emerge it.

i got rid of it removing 'login' from authentications mechanisms 
in /etc/dovecot.conf section 

auth_default {
mechanism = plain


I have single user setup and I dont care much about security here, so maybe 
this isnt the best solution. I use dovecot with squirrelmail to read one 
filtered kmail maildir.

My setup is very similar ... no great need for security.

My setting is the same as what you posted but then the pam stuff is in
there too.  What does your whole auth_default {} look like?

 (Everthing between opening and closing brackets)

Here, the whole thing minus the comments is:

auth default {
  mechanisms = plain
  passdb pam {
args = *
  }

 userdb passwd {
  }
  user = root
}

I don't know how much of that is needed.  I wouldn't care if pam was
bypassed too but not sure if it would work then.

Doesn't appear to hold here.

root # genlop glibc
 * sys-libs/glibc
 Wed Jun 14 16:27:01 2006  sys-libs/glibc-2.4-r3

root # genlop linux-headers
 * sys-kernel/linux-headers
 Wed Jun 14 09:08:10 2006  sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.11-r5

Apparently glibc was compiled a few hours after linux-headers.

I use it without PAM, I don't have PAM installed. Just use

  passdb passwd {
  }
  passdb shadow {
  }

to have it authenticate through /etc/passwd. I'm nit sure if both are
needed, I'll have to try with just one.
