[Dovecot] Dovecot configuration with passwd-file
I have tried to configure dovecot to use passwd-file authentication and I havent been able to. I changed the following in the dovecot.conf file (I want to have all the mailboxes in one directory):
default_mail_env = maildir:/opt/mail/%u auth_userdb = passwd-file /etc/passwd.imap auth_passdb = passwd-file /etc/passwd.imap auth_verbose = yes
It gives me the following error (I hoped it would be more verbose than this):
Internal login failure: f_rojas [192.168.10.4].
passwd.imap exists, the user and password are ok What am I missing?

Hmm. It should have been more verbose. "Internal login failure" anyway means that the password check went ok, but IMAP process couldn't be started for some reason.

Did you also add UID, GID and home directories there? UID and GID are a must there, I'm not sure if home directory was.
