i am trying to use dovecot with pam and radius. My users have names in the format joe@somedomain.com. When i have pam configured to use the normal passwd/shadow files it works fine. With radius it does not. I see at the radius server that the domain part of my usernames is always replaced with the same domain @nikojet.com. I don't think it is a problem with the pam radius, as the same library works fine with the solid state pop3 server. Is this a fundamental problem and dovecot/imap does not work with usernames which have a domain part or is it a bug?

You probably don't have the users in /etc/passwd file too, right? Dovecot currently wants the users to exist there too to get their UID, GID and home directory. I'll change this later so that you could give "gid=123 uid=456 homeroot=/var/mail" options to pam auth and it'd use them for all users.

Or did PAM also support getting that information in some way? I'm not sure exactly..
