OK - here's whay I need to make it work for my Linuxconf compatible authentication system. First - a question:
Will this work? I can find docs on "virtualfile.
auth virtualfile { mechanisms = plain digest-md5 userdb = passwd-file /etc/vmail/passwd.%d passdb = passwd-file /etc/vmail/shadow.%d user = root }
Then - since the dmain name selects the passwd file, if there were a feature to make %n be us user instead of the whole email address then I have what I need.
Password files are placed in the /etc/vmail directory as follows:
/etc/vmail/passwd.domain1 /etc/vmail/shadow.domain1 /etc/vmail/passwd.domain2 /etc/vmail/shadow.domain2
The password and shadow files are exactly the same format as the /etc/password and /etc/shadow files. The user name within the files would be the %n part of the email address passed to authenticate with.
Basically the password file names are /etc/vmail/passwd.%d with the user withing the file being %n.
