[Dovecot] Problems with masteruser

[Неворотин Вадим]

Well, the main idea of master users is to able to log in as normal user with
master password. So IMAP client shoudn't know at all that it work with
masteruser password. And IMAP process must be exactly the same. If you can
find difference between login*master and login - then there is a bug in
master users implementation. I see a big difference))))
