If you search for the "dovecot: imap-login: read(ssl-parameters.dat)
failed: Unexpected EOF" error message in your favourite search engine
you will find a few hits which are all rather old though.

No, the default place for it to reside seems to
be /var/run/dovecot/login/ssl-parameters.dat (which is probably purged
each restart?). The configuration file has no directive as this link
(http://markmail.org/message/ymdg3f3minq7asb2) shows: The place seems to
only be configurable at ./configure time.
