I upgraded dovecot from 0.99.20050712-2 to 1.0.alpha3-1 (Debian testing).

In /etc/dovecot.conf I had:

passdb = passwd-file /etc/imap.passwd

I modified dovecot.conf from 1.0alpha3 to have:

passdb passwd-file {
    # Path for passwd-file
    args = /etc/imap.passwd
}

Is that correct?

Authentication no longer works, and /var/log/mail.info shows:

Oct 7 22:35:39 XXX dovecot: auth(default): passdb(XXX,XXX): passdb didn't return userdb entries Oct 7 22:35:39 XXX dovecot: auth(default): userdb(XXX,XXX): user not found from userdb Oct 7 22:35:39 XXX dovecot: imap-login: Internal login failure: user=<XXX>, method=PLAIN, rip=XXX, lip=XXX, TLS

Help, please.
