I don't have imap-login processes associated with inetd spawned
dovecot.

inetd support to Dovecot v2.0.

Why do you use inetd? I'm currently wondering if I should bother adding

local0.log.20090916:Sep 16 11:58:01 tr27n18.aset.psu.edu dovecot: auth (default): BUG: Worker sent reply with id 1, expected 2 local0.log.20090916:Sep 16 11:58:01 tr27n18.aset.psu.edu dovecot: auth (default): worker-server(mck2,146.186.125.214): Aborted: Worker is buggy
