dovecot - Jan 2006 - 1.0 beta 1 feature request: passwd-file vs. prefetch

Greetings,

it appears as though 1.0.beta1 doesn't support "userdb prefetch
{}" with
"passdb passwd-file { arg=/etc/mailpasswd }" even if the latter
contains
all necessary information.

Is this planned for a future version or would the benefits be too small
to justify that?

Another idea: can userdb prefetch {} fall back to retrying the passdb
entries to see if they come up with useful information?

I don't think it would benefit much. It'd be one less hash table lookup,
but those are fast anyway. And it would require more code..

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but if the passdb didn't return
userdb information, I don't think there's any point to configure userdb
to be prefetch..
