Hi All,

I am bit strugging to get this work, and bit perplexed to set the right
configuration to get this work, btw: I am using passdb without any DB based
auth.

the latest logs after debug mode setting is below
Jan 16 09:27:04 ns dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded:
/usr/lib/dovecot/auth/libdriver_sqlite.so
Jan 16 09:27:04 ns dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded:
/usr/lib/dovecot/auth/libmech_gssapi.so
Jan 16 09:27:04 ns dovecot: auth: Error: passwd-file /etc/dovecot/users:
User info at ghhdomain.com has invalid GID '/var/spool/mail/ghhdomain/info/'
Jan 16 09:27:04 ns dovecot: auth: Debug: passwd-file /etc/dovecot/users:
Read 0 users
Jan 16 09:27:04 ns dovecot: auth: Fatal: No passdbs specified in
configuration file. CRAM-MD5 mechanism needs one
Jan 16 09:27:04 ns dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): command startup
failed, throttling



Please see my configs

10-mail.conf
mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/mail/%d/%n

10-ssl.conf

# SSL/TLS support: yes, no, required. <doc/wiki/SSL.txt>
ssl = yes

ssl_cert = </etc/postfix/newcert.pem
ssl_key = </etc/postfix/newkey.pem

auth-system.conf.ext
#passdb {

#driver = passwd-file
#args = scheme=cram-md5 username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/passwd
#}

userdb {
driver = passwd-file
args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users
}

auth-passwdfile.conf.ext
passdb {
  driver = passwd-file
  args = scheme=CRYPT username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users
}

users file look like this
info at ghhdomain.com:
{CRAM-MD5}e02d374fde0dc75a17a557039a3a5338c7743304777dccd376f332bee68d2cf6:503:503

I created using doveadm pw , and pasted the output to the above file

Please let me know what went wrong, and what I need to do now...

thanks
G.
userdb {
  driver = passwd-file
  args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users



I have made a mess of these configuration after many tries.. yet not sure
what is the simple steps to make it work
