[Dovecot] shared authentication
whats the recommended way to share a user auth info between dovecot and postfix? sasldb seems like it could work but nobody really seems to like using the giant mass that is sasl. i also cant find any information on actually getting dovecot to use sasl past the configure options. i looked at timo's patch for postfix to use dovecot-auth but it doesnt apply correctly on the 2.1 branch. so what are people using to share passwords between the two without using the system passwd?

wouldnt that still require sasl for postfix?
You'll need Cyrus SASL for Postfix in any case for now. postfix-dovecot-auth has some small issues left and you'd need to use Dovecot 1.0-tests to make it work.
And about the patch not applying .. I hadn't noticed Postfix 2.1 exists even, I just got the sources with apt-get which installed 2.0.19. Well, I'll make a patch against 2.1.1 too.
Dovecot's Cyrus SASL support is AFAIK completely broken even though it compiles.
