I upgraded dovecot the other day to 1.0.beta3 and I was altering the
configuration file trying to get it to work when I discovered something
disturbing:  our passwords were being trasmitted unencrypted across the
Internet!  At least now I know it.  You can gripe at me all you want,
but I've learned my lesson.  Now to fix it.  I tried setting the default
authentication method to "digest-md5" and restarting dovecot, but it
gave me an error that no authentication database existed for checking
with digest-md5.  How do I generate one?

My second question was about a PaperPort 6100 parallel port scanner that
I recently inherited.  Can anyone point me to a Gentoo-specific or
otherwise easy-to-understand howto for getting it working?  I tried
googling it, but all the results were for USB scanners...
