Correct me if I am wrong, but IIRC, these files are read after privileges are dropped... so quick guess: is the file readable by the service user itself?
Default config from the distro rpm (RL9), was:
passdb { driver = passwd-file master = yes args = /etc/dovecot/master-users pass = yes }
I solved my problem with this config:
auth_master_user_separator = * passdb { driver = passwd-file args = /etc/dovecot/master-users master = yes result_success = continue } passdb { driver = shadow } userdb { driver = passwd }
that I get from the dovecot doc.
I'm not a dovecot configuration expert, so I don't understand exactly how the added sections interact in the config, but this solved my problem (hoping that I haven't created other problems that I don't see at the moment ... ;-) ).
Thanks, B.
