[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.2.x passwd and shadow auth w/ PAM

I'm trying to get authentication to work without PAM and just use the 
standard shadow and passwd files.

auth default {

userdb passwd {
}

passdb shadow {
}

}

This seems to be valid code to use /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow.

My linux distro is using Salted MD5. Though Dovecot keeps telling me 
that authentication failed. It doesn't give me any error messages 
regarding the config.

Any ideas?
