hi,

I have an imap server (dovecot) that can auhenticate using BSD  
authentication. however, when imap server requests authenitcation for  
user xyzzy, I'd like the bsd authentication layer to authenticate user  
'xyzzy/mail' (which has a separate password in kerberos). I can see  
multiple solutions to this:

1) have dovecot rewrite the username before sending it to bsdauth

2) have bsdauth add /main to the username before authentication. this  
might be more generic and will make it easier for other apps to use  
separate password for some apps (using an option to login.conf).


comments and/or ideas?
