Your postfix is trying to use saslauthd, which usually listens on

you want to use saslauthd and the place you store your e-mail user data.
I want authentication against /etc/passwd (ultimately), not using sasldb2.db.
There is no /var/run/saslauthd/mux, and saslauthd doesn't appear installed --
I'm getting the impression that selecting "Cyrus-SASL" in the make config
dialog box for the Postfix port doesn't completely install cyrus-sasl
components.
It should, because it calls this:
.if defined(WITH_SASL2)
LIB_DEPENDS+= sasl2.2:${PORTSDIR}/security/cyrus-sasl2
POSTFIX_CCARGS+= -DUSE_SASL_AUTH -DUSE_CYRUS_SASL -I${LOCALBASE}/include
-I${LOCALBASE}/include/sasl
POSTFIX_AUXLIBS+= -L${LOCALBASE}/lib -lsasl2 -lpam -lcrypt
.endif
I'm guessing the solution is to completely install the cyrus-sasl2 port to
enable the use of saslauthd. Yes? Or am I way off?
Yes, you need to install saslauthd, however, if you checked the OPTION when you
installed Postfix, it's most likely already installed. You *also* need to
enable saslauthd in /etc/rc.conf:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/ports/mail/postfix]# grep sasl /etc/rc.conf
saslauthd_enable="YES"
saslauthd_flags=" -a pam -n 2"
(This uses /etc/passwd through pam, btw.)
Look at /usr/local/etc/rc.d/saslauthd.sh for the options and flags available or
read man (8) saslauthd.
