I've been struggling to get postfix working with SASL (pam)
authentication working on a new Lion mac mini. Basically, I want it to
authenticate against local users on the box.
I tried to get the system default postfix with SASL to work but I never
managed to get PAM authentication working.
Then I tried the macports versions of postfix with cyrus-sasl2. I got
cyrus-sasl2 to work, I was able to successfully authenticate against
local users using testsalauthd
But postfix is being very stubborn in a very basic way. I'm getting
permissions errors on the lock file and I can't figure out what the
permissions should be:
Oct 24 22:27:14 macmini postfix/postfix-script[27499]: starting the
Postfix mail system
Oct 24 22:27:14 macmini postfix/master[27500]: fatal: open lock file
/opt/local/var/lib/postfix/master.lock: cannot open file: Permission denied
The current permissions are:
[root@macmini postfix]# ls -al
total 0
drwxr-x--x 2 _postfix mail 68 Oct 21 12:23 .
drwxr-x--- 4 root admin 136 Oct 20 20:27 ..
I've tried a bunch with either that error or an error that the directory
is group or world writable.
