Hello to All. I have a system with FreeBSD 6.1 Release, Dovecot 1.0 Release Candidate 7. I am a novice user in unix world and when my first deal with with Dovecot is Virtual users. User databes in master.passwd file (like a /etc/master.passwd) created by "pw". All works fine, BUT --- If user exclusivly virtual (there is no user with same name in system) IMAP folders are created normal with a right access rights(they described in dovecot.conf statically UID 555) - all cool - BUT when i trying to login with a Virtual user with the SAME LOGIN NAME as in SYSTEM (FreeBSD's /etc/master.passwd user) USER ---- going something strange: imap folders that creating for this user takig wrong ACCES RIGHTS (access rights for system user), not statically with UID 555! What the ... ?! -----------------------Edited Part of Dovecot.conf----------------------------------------------------- default_mail_env = mbox:/var/new/%u:INBOX=/var/virtual/%u auth default { # Space separated list of wanted authentication mechanisms: # plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 ntlm rpa apop anonymous gssapi #mechanisms = digest-md5 # /etc/passwd or similar, using getpwnam() # In many systems nowadays this uses Name Service Switch, which is # configured in /etc/nsswitch.conf. # passdb passwd { # } #auth_user=root #userdb passwd-file { # args = /bsd/dove/passwd #} userdb passwd { args = /bsd/dove/passwd } passdb passwd-file { args = /bsd/dove/master.passwd } # /etc/passwd or similar, using getpwnam() # In many systems nowadays this uses Name Service Switch, which is # configured in /etc/nsswitch.conf. # static settings generated from template userdb static { # Template for settings.

P.S. Sorry for my english,my native language is Russian :)
