AW: How to deactivate "!include conf.d/auth-system.conf.ext" without touching "/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf"?

so you edit something ? Nope - not in the original files! I created a "local.conf" where I put in every configuration. And there I want to overrule the "auth-system.conf.ext", activated by default in the " conf.d/10-auth.conf".

edit conf.d/10-auth.conf change line with auth-system.conf.ext so auth-system.conf.ext is commented line That would be the easiest way I guess - but exact what I don't want to do. I want to keep the original files untouched if possible.

note to debian users, /etc/dovecot/ should not be overwrited by dovecot updates [...] It's a Debian system and I've seen many times over the years that configuration files were restored during upgrades. That's why I want to have the complete configuration in local.conf.
