-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- "passwd-file" is similiar to "passwd", but I don't know, if you break something (outside Dovecot), if you add the last field to /etc/passwd.
Because Dovecot supports multiple userdb's, you could add a passwd-file userdb _before_ passwd userdb, copy the line of sarah from /etc/passwd into that new file and add the extra fields there. See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/PasswdFile
userdb { driver = passwd-file args = username_format=%n /etc/dovecot/imap.passwd } userdb { driver = passwd }
This works. But I noticed when I do use it to override mail_location dovecot doesn't report system_groups_user anymore. Not sure if that matters....
$: dovecot user sarah field value uid 1403 gid 101 home /home/sarah mail mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/sarah system_groups_user sarah
Now I add to imap.passwd: sarah::1403:101::/home/sarah::userdb_mail=maildir:~/Maildir
$: dovecot user sarah field value uid 1403 gid 101 home /home/sarah mail maildir:~/Maildir $:
see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields first section "A user database lookup typically returns uid, gid, home and mail fields. Other possibilities are:"
/etc/groups won't be queried now, because of the different driver.
