[Dovecot] Creating encrypted passwords for new users /etc/imap.passwd
Hello. I've been attempting to locate information on how to actually create the encrypted passwords for a new user in /etc/imap.passwd file. Im really going into this blindly, not having ever used dovecot before, and really just need to be pointed to any existing resources on this topic. This is a setup of dovecot (w/ sendmail,squirrelmail) on FC2. I've got one successful auth so far as a test user, with their info cut/pasted directly from /etc/passwd (it works) whereas using {PLAIN}password causes dovecot to drop the connection with an aborted login. So what I'm actually looking for is a resource or a quick response regarding the actual creation of the encrypted password in /etc/passwd style. Any clues on where I should look for this info? John
