Turning on auth debugging
May 10 18:09:22 auth(default): Info: shadow(mjb,69.2.98.5): lookup May 10 18:09:22 auth(default): Info: shadow(mjb,69.2.98.5): unknown user
These messages suggest that the auth mechanisms can't find the user. Though the user clearly exists in both /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow.

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?
