well, just remove all that and keep:
passdb pam { }
You can't tell PAM to use /etc/passwd, you can only tell it to use a specific file in /etc/pam.d/ directory. By default Dovecot uses "dovecot" service, so you'll need to have /etc/pam.d/dovecot file as well working.
http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/Authentication has more explanations and an example for how to use PAM.
HI
A big thanks for this, its working.
Now for my main reason of wanting to use dovecot..
I read the folllowing link: http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/SharedFolders
In the conf file I have a namespace entry:
namespace public { separator = / prefix = Public/ location = /tmp }
and
mail:/home/bclark/Maildir# ls -la -rw-r--r-- 1 bclark bclark 0 May 16 19:26 dovecot-shared -rw-r--r-- 1 bclark bclark 62 May 17 14:11 dovecot-uidlist
My mail client logs in brilliantly and displays me mail.
But I dont see a shared folder.
And tips and or advice would greatfully be appreciated.
Kind Regards Brent Clark
