dovecot - Jan 2007 - Virtual Users and Local Users Authentication

I am using dovecot on a SLES 10 mail server using postfix as the MTA.  The
original setup used local users and a single domain.  I have now configured
postfix to send mail to a second virtual domain which is working fine.  I am
trying to get dovecot to pick up the mail and have been having authentication
problems.  My local users uses pam and /etc/passwd for login with SSL.  I have
created a passwd file for the virtual users and have set dovecot to look at the
passwd-like file with the path specified.  However dovecot complains about the
file not being present, which it is and my local users can not login.

Probably doing something simple incorrectly, but can not find what fron online
searches.

Thanks

Show me the exact log message? If it says the file isn't present, it
most likely isn't. Maybe there's a typo you didn't notice, or
something
similar?
