I don't know if this is a bug but I found it annoying. After upgrading postfix to 2.0.9 my /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf had been replaced with a default file. The result was that I couldn't authenticate with my server since I use pwcheck_method:saslauthd instead of pwcheck_method:pam which is the default. I think a ._cfg file should be created if a smtpd.conf already exists. My use flag is: USE="mysql imap libwww maildir sasl ssl -qt -java" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge postfix
ACK. exactly the same "phenomena" here... ;-) Also very trivial but...maybe one could even move smtpd.conf to /etc/sasl[2]/smtpd.conf and just create a symlink under /usr/lib? Yes, this has nothing directly to do with this "problem", but personally I'd fine it a bit more intuitive to search for the sasl config files under /etc than under /usr/lib/sasl. (I do admit, that I have learnt it by now, at least after searching for them a few times. *g*)
this has been fixed in a later ebuild of postfix -- I did some trickery in the ebuild -- please check.
