Hi everybody. I am trying to setup debian with smtp_auth on a debian woody machine, using only packages from stable tree. Unofortunately it doesn't work, i always get 'sasl authentication failed' errors.
I tried to trace down the problem, and it seems that postfix (from postfix-tls 1.11.0...again, only packages from debian stable tree) doesn't talk with pwcheck. Pwcheck has its socket under /var/state/pwcheck/pwcheck, and it is correctly opened and used by cyrus pop3/imap servers. The same socket seems to be unavailable for postfix. I tried both chrooted and not chrooted mode, no change. Any hint? I don't know where postfix looks for pwcheck, and tried to symlink pwcheck socket all around with no change. Could it be a permission problem preventing postfix from using it? I saw a post on this list, a few weeks ago, with a similar problem. It was solved by a different configuration. I tried the same but didn't help. Any help is greatly appreciated. I am kinda lost, tried all i could think of. Thanks a lot E. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
