I also would prefer this but I also like the comfort of a package 
management system, so I don't have to compile from scratch for every new 
version, especially not on a live system that isn't mine ;)

Now that you mention it :) Especially because I gain the wanted effect 
with user_global_uid/gid in the dovevot-ldap.conf....
But this seemed to be the source of all problems because it was exactly 
as you said. Removing the static userdb made dovecot look up my 
attributes in LDAP and everything worked :) I also think I'm gonna stick 
with your suggestion regarding the pass_filter. It seems less 
error-prone and that's exactly what I need for this customer :) Thanks 
very much for your quick help!


Have a nice evening,
Patrick
