Just an update. I ran across an idea from a forum on the net and put garbage in smtpd.conf and postfix/smtpd complains. That says smtpd is reading the file and permissions are ok. SASL apparently doesn't use what's there. I've tried it with pwcheck_method: pam, pwcheck_method: saslauthd, and pwcheck_method: sasldb. I still get: "SASL LOGIN authentication failed".
I copied an /etc/pam.d/smtp file from a friend's 8.1/8.2 system I helped set up, mine was removed when I upgraded, and no joy. I started saslauthd -pam -T -d (debug mode) and it gave no messages. (There is no documentaion on saslauthd switches. :-( My conclusion is that whoever packaged the postfix? rpm knows enough about what changed to remove /etc/pam.d/smtp and rename /usr/lib/smtpd.conf to smtpd.conf.rpmsave. Why do this? I think it's supposed to authenticate through saslauthd now, but it doesn't for some reason. Anyone have any clues? Bill Shirley PS.
