Hm, so my mailing list archive is up, but when I add nopassword to the list of settings in my passdb passwd-file I get:
file auth-request.c: line 924 (auth_request_set_field): assertion failed: (request->passdb_password == NULL) Raw backtrace: dovecot-auth [0x806be11] -> dovecot-auth [0x806bd8c] -> dovecot-auth(auth_request_set_field+0x277) [0x80547d7] -> dovecot-auth [0x8060418] -> dovecot-auth [0x8060509] -> dovecot-auth(auth_request_verify_plain+0xb3) [0x80559b3] -> dovecot-auth [0x8055ac2] -> dovecot-auth(auth_request_verify_plain_callback+0x30) [0x8055b50] -> dovecot-auth [0x8060dbe] -> dovecot-auth(io_loop_handler_run+0x152) [0x806f1c2] -> dovecot-auth(io_loop_run+0x28) [0x806e508] -> dovecot-auth(main+0x2fb) [0x805aaab] -> /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xc8) [0xb7a3fea8] -> dovecot-auth [0x8050ff1]
This is with rc27.
I don't seem to be able to get the passdb_password to NULL with passwd-file.
