My question exactly - is there any reason why one should not do that? Or even more simply, give the locations /etc/pki/tls/{certs,private} in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf ? -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
