It would be useful to run the "doveadm" utility on a non-dovecot server e.g. generating password hashes: # echo plaintextpass | doveadm pw -s BLF-CRYPT doveadm(user): Fatal: Error reading configuration: stat(/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf) failed: No such file or directory Is there a way to circumvent the need for a configuration file?

But you can specify the location of the config file with -c /path/to/file like echo -n plaintextpass | doveadm -c /root/emptyfile.conf pw -s SHA1 Sami

I tried this with /dev/null and /tmp/empty.conf but ran into another wall doveadm(root): Fatal: execv(/usr/bin/doveconf) failed: No such file or directory Joseph Tam <jtam.home at gmail.com>
