Yes and No.
It's confusing to me which is why I ask.
Per my initial email my password source is PAM.
It's the userdb I'm concerned about ... which dovecot is using
/etc/passwd.
So dovecot is getting user information from passwd file; password
information from PAM.
I need to add extra fields for qouta but can't add them to /etc/passwd
so I have to create a passwd with the extra fields for dovecot to use.
How do I get dovecot to look at the new file for user info?
I looked at your link and then did a grep on passdb which appears in ...
auth-checkpassword.conf.ext
auth-deny.conf.ext
auth-ldap.conf.ext
auth-master.conf.ext
auth-passwdfile.conf.ext
auth-sql.conf.ext:passdb
auth-static.conf.ext
auth-system.conf.ext
auth-vpopmail.conf.ext:
I'm guessing I need to look in auth-system.conf.ext since I use system
users. In there it says ...
passdb {
driver = pam
... so I don't think I should change that.

That means, too, that the auth-*.ext files are more samples than fixed configuration options. You probably have included auth-system.conf.ext by enabling: 10-auth.conf:#!include auth-system.conf.ext ^ no # here in auth-system.conf.ext you'll find the passdb { driver = pam ..}, which you'll keep unchanged, and a userdb {} section. Comment the current userdb section, which most probably has driver = /etc/passwd, and add the proper userdb { driver = passwd-file .... } You could create your own conf file, too.> > On 3/17/2015 2:20 AM, Steffen Kaiser wrote: >> On Mon, 16 Mar 2015, Cliff Hayes wrote: >> >>> password should be).
