in Dovecot 2.0, is it possible to have kind of "cumulative" multiple userdb ? that is, for all users: - extract some attributes (let's say: uid, gid, home) from a first userdb (Passwd for example), - an extract some other attributes (mail for example, but overwriting those from the first userdb in case of redundancy) from a second userdb (LDAP for example) ? This is *different* from the "multiple databases" setup described in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/MultipleDatabases, where it is meant as "failover": the second database is looked up only if the user isn't found in the first database. -- Benoit BRANCIARD Service InfraStructures (SIS) - Direction du Syst?me d'Information (DSI) Universit?

But no, not possible currently.
