OK - all the info I can gather: dovecot: Jan 15 11:47:21 Info: auth(default): passwd-file(anne,127.0.0.1): unknown user
This says that it didn't see anne in the passwd-file.
/etc/imap.passwd anne:{plain}******:1000:1000::/home/anne
But it's correctly in here. I can't think of anything else than that it's reading wrong file somehow or that the imap.passwd file contains something else besides what you just pasted. Did you check with for example vi that there are no strange control characters at the beginning of the line?
Hi, Timo. I just got in and it's late, so I'll check that in the morning.
BTW. I also just added to CVS that it says this at startup if debug is enabled:
auth(default): passwd-file /etc/imap.passwd: Read 1 users
That'll also be helpful when figuring out problems like these..
If I can't find anything wrong I will delete that file and re-create it, just in case. Could it be a permissions problem? What perms setting do you recommend?
