Re: [Dovecot] How to bring dovecot to using a slightly modified passwd file

Stephan von Krawczynski:

If there is no chance to convince Timo for something like a passwd-scheme parameter useful for more people than just me I will probably rewrite the stuff myself. Nevertheless if someone kindly points me to the right piece of code I could save some hours searching for it myself... Stephan,

I'm not aware on any function you need to specify the passwd layout. So a short solution would be a patch to dovecot.

A more general solution could be a separate scheme beside the existing auth backends http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase or a mechanism to specify passwd fields as you suggested.
