Hi,
we are currently in the progress of switching an HPUX mailserver to linux and dovecot. The only issue so far is, that HPUX has bigcrypt for passwords > 8 chars. Bigcrypt uses standard libc crypt for every block of 8 chars.
The linux pam modules have a bigcrypt.c file which can be used for dovecot as well to authenticate crypt and bigcrypt passwords.
I have used the pam bigcrypt.c code to patch the mycrypt.c dovecot file.
Maybe you could add this path (against branch_1_0 cvs).
thanks Philipp Kolmann
