everything looks ok with dovecot.  i am user validuser as a local account for testing. 
the strange thing is that even when i get rejected for a login using a valid username 
and password, i get the message, ""You must be logged in to access this page," but 
when i login using a bogus name, i get a distinctly different error using a bogus 
username and password "Unknown user or password incorrect."

1. testing dovecot from local terminal:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# telnet localhost 143
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK dovecot ready.
1 login validuser password
1 OK Logged in.

this telnet session gets logged in /var/log/maillog
Oct 28 21:30:36 testy imap-login: Login: maw [127.0.0.1]
Oct 28 21:33:06 testy imap-login: Login: maw [127.0.0.1]


When i attempt to login with a valid user name and password,
i get the what looks like a valid login:

var/log/maillog
Oct 28 21:14:53 testy imap-login: Login: validuser [127.0.0.1]

but the system logs say i didn't enter a user id / password:
Oct 28 22:03:56 testy dovecot(pam_unix)[12167]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 
euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost=

when i use a bogus username and password, i get this:
Oct 28 22:21:34 testy dovecot(pam_unix)[12186]: check pass; user unknown
Oct 28 22:21:34 testy dovecot(pam_unix)[12186]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 
euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost=
