Yes and No. It's confusing to me which is why I ask. Per my initial email my password source is PAM. It's the userdb I'm concerned about ... which dovecot is using /etc/passwd. So dovecot is getting user information from passwd file; password information from PAM. I need to add extra fields for qouta but can't add them to /etc/passwd so I have to create a passwd with the extra fields for dovecot to use. How do I get dovecot to look at the new file for user info?
I looked at your link and then did a grep on passdb which appears in ... auth-checkpassword.conf.ext auth-deny.conf.ext auth-ldap.conf.ext auth-master.conf.ext auth-passwdfile.conf.ext auth-sql.conf.ext:passdb auth-static.conf.ext auth-system.conf.ext auth-vpopmail.conf.ext: I'm guessing I need to look in auth-system.conf.ext since I use system users. In there it says ... passdb { driver = pam ... so I don't think I should change that.
