Hi, There is still an issue with postfix using saslauthd in the latest devil-linx - the problem is that cyrus-sasl puts its configuration file smtpd.conf in /usr/lib/sasl2/ which of course is non writable on the CD. There are a number of possible solutions to this: 1) Friedrich's solution of exporting the SASL_PATH in postfix (see: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=11144397) 2) cyrus-sasl-configdir patch - found a gentoo patch here http://prometheus.cs.wmich.edu/gentoo/rsync/dev-libs/cyrus-sasl/files/cyrus-sasl-2.1.20-configdir.patch which appears to apply cleanly 3) Create a symlink from /usr/lib/sasl2 to somewhere writeable (in /etc) Anybody have a preferred method of resolving this?

We probably should think about using the patch, because the symlink would require us to move the libraries too. -- Regards Heiko Zuerker http://www.devil-linux.org |

Sorry, I wasn't clear - all that needs to be symlinked is the config file smtpd.conf, no libraries. ln -sf /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf /etc/sasl/smtpd.conf Martin |

In our case, as far as I'm aware, postfix is the only application that may use sasl, hence the smtpd.conf file and only the need for us to "move" this one file. Are there any other application on DL that use sasl? Martin |

That's a definite maybe. ;-) I'm almost certain that quite a few more apps are configured to use SASL. Because of this, I would favor the patch. -- Regards Heiko Zuerker http://www.devil-linux.org |

OK, attached is the patch for the build/scripts/cyrus-sasl script as well as a sample smtpd.conf file (to be placed in build/scripts/scripts). Also, the actual cyrus-sasl configdir patch is attached. This should be placed in the src directory. I obtained this from one of the Gentoo mirrors for cyrus-sasl-2.1.20 http://prometheus.cs.wmich.edu/gentoo/rsync/dev-libs/cyrus-sasl/files/ Thanks Martin |
