I've got my whole system authenticating to an LDAP database. If I remember correctly (I'm not at home so I can't look this up on my computer), you can run authconfig and select SASL as one of the authentication methods. I think Dovecot authenticates through PAM by default, so it should be ready to go if you do that. Justin Willmert
