[Dovecot] Does NIS/yp work for authentication

[Stewart Dean]

If a host is running NIS (passwd file ends in +::0:0:::) authentication, 
will dovecot be able to authenticate with

auth_userdb = passwd

directly and automagically or do you have to do a ypcat passwd > pwfile periodically 
to generate a passwd file that dovecot can use?

?

Thanks!
