[…] Here's what my Gentoo-default auth-passwdfile.conf.ext says:
passdb { driver = passwd-file args = scheme=CRYPT username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users } userdb { driver = passwd-file args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users }
But I don't have an /etc/dovecot/users file. I also don't seem to have any mail user uid lower than 1000, but I do have some users above 1000 which aren’t mail users (nobody, etc).
Hello Grant,
So as to avoid any ambiguity, could you post the output of "doveconf -n"?
Sure, here it is:
# doveconf -n # 2.2.16: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux x86_64 Gentoo Base System release 2.2 listen = 127.0.0.1 mail_location = maildir:~/.maildir namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = INBOX. separator = . } passdb { args = * driver = pam } passdb { args = scheme=CRYPT username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file } protocols = imap service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/dovecot/server.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/dovecot/server.key userdb { driver = passwd } userdb { args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file }
