You probably don't have the users in /etc/passwd file too, right?
Dovecot currently wants the users to exist there too to get their UID,
GID and home directory. I'll change this later so that you could give
"gid=123 uid=456 homeroot=/var/mail" options to pam auth and it'd use
them for all users.

Or did PAM also support getting that information in some way? I'm not
sure exactly..
