Shadow
======
Works at least with Linux and Solaris, but nowadays <PAM>
[PasswordDatabase.PAM.txt] is usually preferred to this.
This uses auth-worker processes:
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
passdb {
driver = shadow
}
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
By default the auth-worker processes are run as "dovecot" user though, which
normally doesn't have access to '/etc/shadow'. If this is a problem, you can
fix it with:
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
service auth-worker {
# This should be enough:
group = shadow
# If not, just give full root permissions:
#user = root
}
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
If there are only a few users and you're using '/etc/shadow' file, there's
really no need to use auth-workers. You can disable them with:
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
passdb {
driver = shadow
args = blocking=no
}
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
