I setup dovecot on my laptop to practice on.
I was following some of the information on this page:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixVirtualMailBoxClamSmtpHowto#Testing
Your Setup
I created the in this format:
user:{plain}pass:1000:1000::/home/user::userdb_mail=maildir:~/Maildir
for userdb passwd-file.
I used smart for the user and wade for the password (its just for
testing) and then attempted to log into the system.
Im getting these errors:
auth-worker(default): pam(smart,127.0.1.1): lookup service=dovecot
auth-worker(default): pam(smart,127.0.1.1): #1/1 style=1 msg=Password;
auth-worker(default): pam(smart,127.0.1.1): pam_authenticate() failed:
Authentication failure( password mismatch?)
auth-worker(default): passwd-file /etc/dovecot/passwd.dovecot: Read 1 users
auth-worker(default): passwd-file(smart,127.0.1.1): lookup: user=smart
file=/etc/dovecot/passwd.dovecot
Its reading the file but the password is incorrect.
Im not understanding that part.
Wade Smart
