Hi,
Exim4 is running fine and I am trying to set up Dovecot 0.99 to handle virtual users (http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/VirtualhostingWithExim) so I don't have to set up user accounts for each e-mail address I want to server out via pop3.
I need to create a user and passd file, a bit like /etc/passwd, but in a different location for my dovecot virtual users. I can create a blank file such as /etc/dovecot/users (beware my increasing vi skills...) but how do I add users and passwords to this? Can I just type them in and separate them with colons?
If so, how would I add a password to the file? I am happy using the passwd command which alters my user passwords in /etc/passwd. Can I use it or something similar to create the passwords for the users in my new file /etc/dovecot/users ? Is there any way I can use an MD5 hash or CRYPT format for the passwords?
Yours,
Richard
