52 # Use pam for authentication. The default options are fine.
54 # Open a PAM session (to make pam_mkhomedir work, for example)
58 # Use the getpwnam system calls for looking up users and their homedirs. This
59 # uses NSS (so the name "passwd" is slightly misleading).
61 # Let dovecot know that nss calls might take a while, due to remote NSS
62 # lookups. Also, nss_ldap might break without this, due to
