Public bug reported: I am trying to use postfix with cyrus. Since the debian postfix runs chrooted by default and since the version of cyrus shipping with Lucid has the location of the saslauthd socket hard-coded, it seems like the best idea is to run separate saslauthd daemons for these processes. (Making a symlink to the socket from the chroot jail to /var/run seems like a kludge to me, particularly since /var/run is cleared out on every reboot.)
According to the document: /usr/share/doc/sasl2-bin/README.Debian.gz it should be possible to run multiple saslauthd daemons, but when I follow these instructions *precisely*, I get the error message: saslauthd[4747] :detach_tty : Cannot start saslauthd saslauthd[4747] :detach_tty : Another instance of saslauthd is currently running Let me preclude the question "did I remember to set up a different socket for each instance of saslauthd(\w*) in /etc/default: yes, I did set up different sockets (/var/run/postfix/var/run/saslauthd and /var/run/saslauthd) and tried this several times. Is the included documentation incorrect or is this a bug in the currently shipping saslauthd? ** Affects: cyrus-sasl2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Can't run multiple saslauthd daemons as per the documentation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/580708 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
