[Dovecot] Work with auth socket

[Anton Dollmaier]

Hi,


> I've wrote such script:

use Authen::SASL::Authd, as suggested by Steffen.

This code-snippet should help you:

> #!/usr/bin/perl
> use Authen::SASL::Authd qw(auth_cyrus auth_dovecot);
>
> $login = "test";
> $passwd = "test";
>
> # authenticate user against Dovecot authentication daemon
> auth_dovecot('login', 'passwd') or die "dovecot-auth: FAIL";

I realized a monitoring-script with this snippet, works great.


good luck!
