But, I'm not sure if you are talking about in a listen context or not. I'm
currently sharing my users table in a passwd file with dovecot with no problems.
I do have a seperate creds table in the above format for my listen context.
/etc/mail/users passwd file
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 214 Aug 3 2015 users
I never noticed this was world readable which doesn't seem like a good thing.
Now I see what your problem is, because I tried the same thing and it causes
problems for dovecot and smtpd.
Yes - it does work if world-writable. The passphrases are hashed like
yours so in theory someone would still have to brute-force them to get
the original passphrase, but it seems better to only give read access to
the various mail daemons.
Currently I have just copied the same file and changed group ownerships
on each. Still not clear to me why this is necessary and why creating a
shared group doesn't work with opensmtpd.
