auth-worker unknown user

pam(foobar at example.com,192.0.1.1,<9zMTUUCGNfHZzMpL>): unknown user
(SHA1 of given password: ff75068c2f4d700a49dae204d56477a5ffa5d23d)


The password is correct, i.e. 'echo -n 'passed' | openssl dgst
-sha1' matches.

The user is setup correctly in /etc/dovecot/users (the /etc/dovecot/users was
copied from another known-good server, so the syntax is correct and appropriate
adjustments have been made for chmod and directory).

doveconf -N follows:

But /etc/dovecot/users file isn't pam ??? I don't need pam if if I'm
using /etc/dovecot/users ?? Or am I understanding you wrong?
