Package: postfix Version: 2.1.5-6 Severity: normal Tags: patch
I tried to figure out how to make SASL-AUTH working with postix. After some digging I found that the mux-Socket does not exist within the postfix chroot. It can not be synced, because saslauthd creates and deletes this socket on start/stop. Here is a patch. saslauthd has to be started after the postfix startup. At the moment they are both at S20. /etc/init.d/saslauth 'start') # Here goes the startup sequence [...] # Use this line or a better to determine if postix is actually installed [ -d /var/spool/postfix/ ] && mkdir -p /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd # it takes a moment to make the socket, any better solutions are welcome sleep 1 # make the link ln -f /var/run/saslauthd/mux /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd/mux ;; -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-k7 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages postfix depends on: ii adduser 3.63 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.30.11 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.10.27 Package maintenance system for Deb ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdb4.2 4.2.52-18 Berkeley v4.2 Database Libraries [ ii libgdbm3 1.8.3-2 GNU dbm database routines (runtime ii netbase 4.20 Basic TCP/IP networking system -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
