"passwd-file" is similiar to "passwd", but I don't know, if you break
something (outside Dovecot), if you add the last field to /etc/passwd.
Because Dovecot supports multiple userdb's, you could add a passwd-file
userdb _before_ passwd userdb, copy the line of sarah from /etc/passwd
into that new file and add the extra fields there. See
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/PasswdFile
userdb {
driver = passwd-file
args = username_format=%n /etc/dovecot/imap.passwd
}
userdb {
driver = passwd
}
This works. But I noticed when I do use it to override mail_location
dovecot doesn't report system_groups_user anymore. Not sure if that
matters....
$: dovecot user sarah
field value
uid 1403
gid 101
home /home/sarah
mail mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/sarah
system_groups_user sarah
Now I add to imap.passwd:
sarah::1403:101::/home/sarah::userdb_mail=maildir:~/Maildir
$: dovecot user sarah
field value
uid 1403
gid 101
home /home/sarah
mail maildir:~/Maildir
$:
