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

Thanks in advance.
