If a host is running NIS (passwd file ends in +::0:0:::) authentication, will dovecot be able to authenticate with

We use yp authentication, but through pam. I'd wildly and unfoundedly guess that userdb=passwd wouldn't.
passdb pam { args = session=yes * }
pam.d files contain: auth sufficient pam_unix.so auth required pam_saslauth.so common-auth
(which is to say that we actually use sasl for authenticating (private crypt strings), but it speaks to YP via the pam_unix module...).
In a simpler environment, it'd just be auth required pam_unix.so

directly and automagically or do you have to do a ypcat passwd > pwfile periodically to generate a passwd file that dovecot can use?
