dovecot - Apr 2011 - Question about master user and PAM with dovecot 2.0.12

Is it possible to allow master users to be authenticated against PAM? Something
like:

passdb {

  driver = pam

  #args = /etc/dovecot/passwd.masterusers

  master = yes

  #pass = yes

}

and then have a userdb which qualifies what accounts are master accounts but
doesn't have passwords?

Thanks,
Jonathan

If PAM authentication succeeds, the user is a master user with this
config.

Do you mean you would want both master and non-master users be
authenticated from a single PAM passdb? That won't work, you need
separate passdbs. You could probably configure two different PAM
services and use them both..
