I recently installed dovecot1.0rc25 on my RHEL4 system running postfix and wish to use both virtual and system users. Virtuals work fine, but I get authentication failures with system users. I've tried pam, passwd and shadow. .. auth default: user: nobody
You're running dovecot-auth as nobody. I'm guessing nobody doesn't have access to /etc/shadow.
Correct, nobody does not have access to /etc/shadow and never will. How do I resolve this? Do I have to create a separate password file for my system users? Or is there a better alternative.
