dovecot - Oct 2005 - dual auth with real users and virtual users

Hi, im using 0.99 stable in RPM form,
 Im using this for postfix+dovecot+real unix users, now i tried to enable
virtual support with this:
 protocols = imap pop3
ssl_disable = yes
log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log
info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot.info
login_user = dovecot
mail_extra_groups = mail
auth = default
auth_mechanisms = plain
 auth_passdb = pam
auth_userdb = passwd
 auth_userdb = passwd-file /etc/vhosts/userdb
auth_passdb = passwd-file /etc/vhosts/passwd
  The above configuration works for local users but is not working for
virtual users, it produces the error:
dovecot-auth: Oct 21 00:19:14 Info: PAM: pam_authenticate(erickperez)
failed: Authentication failure
 obviously the user erickperez exists in /etc/vhosts/userdb so PAM will
fail.
 Im using 0.99 release.
Thanks,

You should use one of dovecot 1.0-alphas to enable some auth. databases.
For example I'm using next auth section in 1.0-alpha3 for authentication
with five databases.

auth default {
        mechanisms = plain
        user = root
        passdb sql {
                args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/sql/normal.conf
        }
        passdb sql {
                args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/sql/normal-wo-domain.conf
        }
        passdb sql {
                args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/sql/old-password.conf
        }
        passdb sql {
                args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/sql/old-password-wo-domain.conf
        }
        passdb pam {
                args = pop3
        }
        userdb sql {
                args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/sql/normal.conf
        }
        userdb sql { 
                args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/sql/normal-wo-domain.conf
        }
        userdb passwd {
        }
}
