I have the following set in my conf
disable_plaintext_auth = no auth =default auth_mechanisms = plain auth_userdb = passwd /etc/passwd auth_passdb = shadow
it has been a long time since I studied up on shadow and passwd, but to my recall if you have in your passwd file something to the effect of
name:*:123456
that the * means you are using shadow for your passdb, right?

I dont know where I went wrong, I have got the Dovecot finally looking for an auth, but it doesnt accept my passwords.
Let me know what you need to see and I will post it...
Set auth_verbose = yes in config file and see what it says in logs.
What passdb are you using? (and in what format the passwords?)
