[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.2.x passwd and shadow auth w/ PAM

I'm trying to get authentication to work without PAM and just use the standard shadow and passwd files.

auth default {

userdb passwd { }

passdb shadow { }

}

This seems to be valid code to use /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow.

My linux distro is using Salted MD5. Though Dovecot keeps telling me that authentication failed. It doesn't give me any error messages regarding the config.

Any ideas?
