[TriLUG] Re: FC2 upgrade and pop3

[Dave Sorenson]

OK, I figured it out. I misunderstood some of the configuration comments in
the dovecot.conf file. Dovecot could use better documentation IMHO. Anyway,
Night all! Thanks for the help!

Check out the chkconfig program.  It's designed by Red Hat to manage what
services are started in specific runlevels.

root# chkconfig dovecot on

turns on the dovecot service in the default runlevels specified by config
information at the top of /etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot.
