I am trying to configure dovecot imap server. How can I figure if the system is PAM for authentication or not?

Can it be configured to user /etc/shadow info to authenticate the users on the system? If so, what will be the sample entry for /etc/shadow case in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf file?

The default configuration of dovecot should be enough to authenticate system users (those in /etc/passwd, with the actual password hashes in /etc/shadow) just like you want.

You may want to look at the (very good, by the way) documentation on Dovecot, at http://wiki.dovecot.org/ .
