Trying to get the master password to work. What am I doing wrong? Trying this test: /etc/dovecot.masterusers master:{plain}test auth_master_user_separator=* auth default_with_listener { mechanisms = plain passdb passwd-file { # Master users that can log in as anyone args = /etc/dovecot.masterusers master = yes #pass =yes } passdb passwd-file { # Path for passwd-file args = /etc/vmail/shadow.%d } userdb passwd-file { # Path for passwd-file args = /etc/vmail/passwd.%d } socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0666 } } } telnet localhost imap Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.ctyme.com (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'. * OK Dovecot ready. 1 login master*marc at perkel.com test 1 NO Authentication failed. Thanks in advance.
For starters, if you're using a version greater than 1.0beta5 (and you should), then you need to reverse what you have on your login line from "master*marc at perkel.com" to "marc*master at perkel.com". Beta4 and 5 had it incorrect, and Timo fixed it in beta6. It's noted on the Wiki. ~adam On Fri, 14 Apr 2006, Marc Perkel wrote:> Trying to get the master password to work. What am I doing wrong?
