Linuxconf
For those of you who remember it and still use it Linuxconf had a really
simple way of doing virtual domains. They use a passwd/shadow type file
structure that is just like your passwd/shadow files except they had one
for each separate domain as follows:
/etc/vmail/passwd.domain1.com
/etc/vmail/shadow.domain1.com
/etc/vmail/passwd.domain2.com
/etc/vmail/shadow.domain2.com
Can't you check the password submitted against the shadow
files?
Dovecot uses multiple back ends. I am using more than one. I am also
using the standard shadow/passwd files. And I am developing a third
authentication protocol that will authenticate against an external
server that I don't have direct access to.
Do you want to write an example of how I would authenticate against both
a Linuxconf and a passwd/shadow file system? I'm not convinced Exim can
do it. But a simple IMAP call could.
