Hi, If I remove the /etc/sasldb file I get the below line in the /var/log/auth.log file, though I have pw_check pam in the /usr/lib/sasl/smtpd.conf file. Nov 7 18:18:43 excalibur postfix/smtpd[391]: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb: No such file or directory
If I copy or link the /usr/lib/sasl/smtpd.conf file to /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf file I get: Nov 7 18:18:48 excalibur PAM_unix[391]: authentication failure; (uid=101) -> hello for smtp service It fails too, but it is used the mechanism specified, that is to say, PAM. Anyway, any idea what I have to do to get Postfix + SASL + PAM or shadow working?. I do not want to use sasldb due to I don't know all the client passwords.
