Hi, It happened to med when i tried to enable sasl2 for postfix on Redhat. I needed to use saslauthd which comes with sasl2. I found that Simon White had the same problem (URL): http://www.irbs.net/internet/postfix/0208/0205.html And then solved it by installin his own sasl2 (URL): http://irbs.net/internet/postfix/0209/1161.html I dug a little deeper into exactly what makes postfix/smtpd crash and burn on RedHat like this and to get everything to work on the redhat sasl rpm's. It seems that Redhat installs both sasl v1 and sasl v2, but calls the package cyrus-sasl-2.1.10 ??? This is where the include files reside: /usr/include/sasl.h - Sasl v1 include file /usr/include/sasl/sasl.h - Sasl v2 include file So on redhat you have to compile postfix like this to get proper SASL2 support: % make makefiles CCARGS="-DUSE_SASL_AUTH -I/usr/include/sasl" AUXLIBS="-lsasl2" I initially forgot the -I/usr/include/sasl which meant that postfix was compiled agaist sasl v1 include files and then linked against asl v2 libraries. That caused postfix/smtp to crash and burn. Vietse Venemas patch helped me track down this: http://www.irbs.net/internet/postfix/0208/0405.html if (SASL_SERVER_NEW("smtp", var_myhostname, *var_smtpd_sasl_realm ? var_smtpd_sasl_realm : NO_AUTH_REALM, server_address, client_address, NO_SESSION_CALLBACKS, NO_SECURITY_LAYERS, &state->sasl_conn) != SASL_OK) msg_fatal("SASL per-connection server initialization"); + if (state->sasl_conn == 0) + msg_panic("sasl_server_new() succeeds and does not set state->sasl_conn"); It would have been nicer if the sasl v1 support had been a separate package. I hope RedHat fixes this in the next release. Sincerely, Hans Eric -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
