Indeed, except I work on a system where PAM is unavailable (OpenBSD). I
tried to work with bsd-auth where I configured krb5_or_pwd in
/etc/login.conf, but when trying dovecot, it told me that the kind of
authentication I wished (whatever it was PLAIN, LOGIN, CRAM,...) was not
available with this kind of database (don't remember of the exact error
code but it looked like what I wrote).
