using /etc/shadow for authentication

[ahuacatlan]

Hi,
I set up roundcube some time ago to authenticate login info against a pgsql database. How can I configure roundcube to authenticate against /etc/shadow?

Thanks!

RoundCube authenticates against your imap server nothing else. you need to change how your server does its authentication. the roundcube database is used for storing user settings and addresses books, also message cache if you have it enabled.

ah, that would make sense.

no wonder I couldn't find anything on this subject...
of course it didn't help that the gentoo wiki HOWTO that I used no longer exists

thanks
