Because Dovecot supports multiple userdb's, you could add a passwd-file userdb _before_ passwd userdb, copy the line of sarah from /etc/passwd into that new file and add the extra fields there. See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/PasswdFile
userdb { driver = passwd-file args = username_format=%n /etc/dovecot/imap.passwd } userdb { driver = passwd }
This looks very interesting to me...
I've been contemplating slowly converting users (one at a time) over to SIS storage - looks like this would work for doing that too?
The main thing holding me back is/was the MySQL DB I use for userdb doesn't natively/easily support extra fields - so, with this method, I could add a passwd-file userdb with the extra field(s) *before* my passwd userdb, then add the users to convert one by one, then once all are converted, change the main config and eliminate the temporary userdb... ?
Thanks!
