I have the users in the passwd and shadow files as i need that for quotas to work. Though in the shadow file i don't have the password and only a x. The problem must be something else.
Well .. I don't know then really. Since you did get it to work by changing PAM to use shadow auth, Dovecot is doing it at least partly right. Maybe the radius PAM module requires something that Dovecot didn't do..
Looking at Courier's PAM handling, it does pam_setcred() which dovecot doesn't. You could try if doing that helps:
src/auth/userinfo-pam.c, around line 169, insert between pam_authenticate() and pam_acct_mgmt():
if ((status = pam_setcred(pamh, PAM_ESTABLISH_CRED)) != PAM_SUCCESS) {
if (status == PAM_ABORT)
i_fatal("pam_setcred_mgmt() requested abort");
return FALSE;
}Maybe it dovecot sets a realm, which is then mistakenly used by the pam radius module, but not by the passwd/shadow module?
PAM doesn't have any support for realms AFAIK.
