Thank you for suggesting this improvement! Can you please explain in more detail your second bullet-point: > if you have postfix running chroot, the pid path will differ : > OPTIONS="-c -m /var/spool/postfix/run/saslauthd -r"
How would those options in /etc/default/saslauthd exactly modify the location of the saslauthd.pid file? In general, I think this kind of improvement would be a good case to be forwarded to the Debian maintainers of this package, as Ubuntu currently uses a direct import of the Debian package, and we'd like to stay as close a possible to the upstream sources. Would you mind filing a bug-report/feature-request with the Debian maintainers? https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/cyrus-sasl2 ** Changed in: cyrus-sasl2 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to cyrus-sasl2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2098601 Title: saslauthd.service should take PIDFile path from /etc/default/saslauthd Status in cyrus-sasl2 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: * Context : Ubuntu 24.04 sasl2-bin 2.1.28+dfsg1-5ubuntu3.1 * saslauthd.service has a fixed path in its file : PIDFile=/var/run/saslauthd/saslauthd.pid * But, in /etc/default/saslauthd, if you have postfix running chroot, the pid path will differ : OPTIONS="-c -m /var/spool/postfix/run/saslauthd -r" * With different paths for the file, saslauthd won't be able to start : saslauthd.service: Can't open PID file /run/saslauthd/saslauthd.pid (yet?) after start: No such file or directory saslauthd.service should take PIDFile from /etc/default/saslauthd (orthe opposite) and /etc/default/saslauthd should clearly explain what need to be done if you set a different path for the pid file.
