Description Harris Landgarten 2006-08-15 17:02:30 UTC

When configuring sendmail to authenticate before sending with saslauthd, if /etc/conf.d/saslauthd is left at its default setting, sendmail will try to authenicate using pam. No user will be able to send email unless:

/etc/sasl2/Sendmail.conf is created with:
    pwcheck_method: saslauthd
    mech_list: login plain

and

/etc/pam.d/smtp is created with:

#%PAM-1.0
auth    required        /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
account required        /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth

These files should be created by sendmail ebuild with the sasl use flag
