Login Manager doesn't have any way to know that one of those is an alias to the other. It'd have to be aware of logic that is very specific to your environment. Off the top of my head I cannot remember the related setting names, but IIRC, there are in fact a couple settings in Login Manager that allow you to set up an alias table so when you use something like "hildeb", it remaps and logs in as "Ralf.Hildebrandt". If that feature is flexible enough (supports wildcards), you might be able to use it to solve the Dovecot master user issue. I'm not in the code at the moment, so I'm unsure of whether or not this would require code changes. >> Note that the Vadmin plugin includes a feature that lets you view the >> preferences of other users, although that's not the same as using >> them.
