passwd file for quota
I need to implement quota. I read as much as I could including http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/SimpleVirtualInstall But my current /etc/passwd file does not have the password in it as shown in dovecot docs ... there is an x where the password should be. I created a program that creates a passwd file in the proper format with the proper extra quota fields for all users (except it has an x where the password should be). I plan to store it in /etc/dovecot How do I get dovecot to stop looking at /etc/passwd and start looking at /etc/dovecot/passwd? And hopefully that will not affect how it gets the password (pam) because when users change their password from webmail of course dovecot will need to be looking in the same place.

Yes and No. It's confusing to me which is why I ask. Per my initial email my password source is PAM. It's the userdb I'm concerned about ... which dovecot is using /etc/passwd. So dovecot is getting user information from passwd file; password information from PAM. I need to add extra fields for qouta but can't add them to /etc/passwd so I have to create a passwd with the extra fields for dovecot to use. How do I get dovecot to look at the new file for user info?
I looked at your link and then did a grep on passdb which appears in ... auth-checkpassword.conf.ext auth-deny.conf.ext auth-ldap.conf.ext auth-master.conf.ext auth-passwdfile.conf.ext auth-sql.conf.ext:passdb auth-static.conf.ext auth-system.conf.ext auth-vpopmail.conf.ext: I'm guessing I need to look in auth-system.conf.ext since I use system users. In there it says ... passdb { driver = pam ... so I don't think I should change that.

See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication
Dovecot utilizes separate password and user databases and you can have multiple of each. That means, too, that the auth-*.ext files are more samples than fixed configuration options.
You probably have included auth-system.conf.ext by enabling:
10-auth.conf:#!include auth-system.conf.ext ^ no # here
in auth-system.conf.ext you'll find the passdb { driver = pam ..}, which you'll keep unchanged, and a userdb {} section. Comment the current userdb section, which most probably has driver = /etc/passwd, and add the proper
userdb { driver = passwd-file .... }
You could create your own conf file, too.
