I'm in an environment that has users both in local flat files (/etc/passwd and /etc/shadow) AND in an LDAP database.
Is it possible for this set up to work with dovecot? (both local and ldap users have imap/pop?)
No fallbacking currently. I'll probably add it though. Fallbacking btw. is possible only with plaintext authentication, but I guess that's what everyone uses anyway..
CVS supports it now.
I also moved auth client code into lib-auth/ directory. Mostly because it's cleaner there, but I was also thinking that maybe some other programs would want to talk to dovecot-auth. SMTP servers come to my mind first. Wouldn't it be nice to keep all the authentication settings in one place? :) It's possible with LDAP and SQL databases, but I'd rather use passwd-file with the few users I need.
