My attempt at doing this > so far looks like > > bam-ios:[REDACTED]:500:500::/home/bam::user=bam namespace/inbox/inbox=no > namespace/virtual/inbox=yes Problem 1: The userdb fields need to be prefixed in passwd-file with "userdb_" prefix, so "userdb_namespace/inbox/inbox=no". Problem 2: You change the username from bam-ios to bam, which results in: > Aug 2 11:37:29 new-miranda dovecot: auth: > passwd-file(bam,64.119.157.114,<Rgx2MErG4wBAd51y>): unknown user > Aug 2 11:37:29 new-miranda dovecot: auth: Debug: > passwd(bam,64.119.157.114,<Rgx2MErG4wBAd51y>): lookup So the userdb fields aren't looked up from passwd-file anyway.
