Note that this file is consulted when the system is running in

By default, lookupd gets information from NetInfo, so this file will

not be consulted unless you have changed lookupd's configuration.

This file is used while in single user mode.

Actually userdb = passwd doesn't actually use /etc/passwd. It uses getpwent() function which apparently in OSX uses lookupd which uses Netinfo.

So, passdb = pam, userdb = passwd should work anyway :)

I managed to make it work using the pam.d/imap that was installed by Postfix Enabler. The one suggested in the wiki does not work:

top% cat dovecot auth required pam_unix.so nullok account required pam_unix.so

but this one works:

top% cat imap

pop3, imap, smtp : auth account password session

auth required pam_nologin.so auth sufficient pam_securityserver.so auth sufficient pam_unix.so auth required pam_deny.so account required pam_permit.so password required pam_deny.so session required pam_uwtmp.so

Thanks a lot.
