Hi timo,
This is the error that comes when adding userdb checkpassword
dovecot: Oct 16 10:13:53 Fatal: auth(default): Unknown userdb driver 'checkpassword' (typo, or Dovecot was built without support for it? Check with dovecot --build-options) dovecot: Oct 16 10:13:53 Fatal: Auth process died too early - shutting down
Running
dovecot - build-options
Build options: epoll ioloop = notify = dnotify ipv6 openssl Mail Storage: mbox maildir raw cydir dbox SQL drivers: mysql Passdb: vpopmail sql checkpassword Userdb: vpopmail sql prefetch
Checkpassword not compiled for userdb.
Excuse the dumb question, with that option adding to compile dovecot userdb checkpassword?
No information found about this.
Thanks
Jose Luis

I'm trying to extend the configuration of vchkpw-wrapper.sh script by adding the expire plugin as follows: .. /usr/local/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool --test
The problem is that vchkpw-wrapper.sh is now run only when user is authenticating. expire-tool doesn't authenticate, it only does userdb lookup. So you'll need to have the script run for userdb lookups too:
passdb checkpassword { .. } userdb prefetch { } userdb checkpassword { args = /usr/local/bin/userdb.sh }
Then create /usr/local/bin/userdb.sh which does more or less what the vchkpw-wrapper.sh does, except since it doesn't call vchkpw itself, it'll need to get the username from $USER instead of $VPOPUSER.
http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/CheckPassword#Checkpassword_as_userdb explains this extension.
