When using sendmail to auth. system users via plain text it keeps on returning the following errors: sm-mta[9378]: i115xtOo009378: AUTH failure (PLAIN): user not found (-20) SASL(-13): user not found: Password verification failed What used to happen in that the user would be auth. from the system accounts, so if I had a user call joe with password joe, that user would be able to retrieve mail using that username and password. They would also be able to auth. to sendmail for "relaying/sendmail" email. If I now add a user to the sasldb using saslpasswd2 (I think) with the same details etc. it works. The problem is that I don't want to go and try and keep these accounts sync'ed. I would like to get sendmail to auth. my plain text users again as it was, or get uw-imap to auth. from my sasldb. I am currently looking into the whole TLS thing etc. I do believe I have tried it with the same results (it was late :) Thanks, Pieter Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Anything ?
Pieter, what version of cyrus-sasl are you using? When did this problem start happening? Did it ever work? Did you recently upgrade anything? Which version of sendmail are you using? Can you also paste emerge --info? Thanks! Sorry for the long delay in getting to this bug!
Hey Cory, My time to say sorry for the delay. This problem started a day or two before the bug was logged. What sendmail used to be able to do was to auth. from the system accounts. Since the system is part of the "not-yet-offical" South African mirrors, it is kept up-to-date as far as I can. I will have to give you current versions for the software, since it is still doing it. It used to work :) I run a small ISP here, so I have already move all my users into using the username@domain.bla auth. for sendmail. Is there a way that I can get uw-imap to auth. from the same database ? emerge --info ------------- Portage 2.0.50-r8 (default-x86-2004.0, gcc-3.3.3, glibc-2.3.3.20040420-r0, 2.4.20-gentoo-r5) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-gentoo-r5 i686 Celeron (Covington) Gentoo Base System version 1.5.1 ccache version 2.2 [enabled] Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r4 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/bind /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://www.nfdb.co.za/mirrors/gentoo/source/ http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.insync.za.net/gentoo-portage" USE="X apache2 apm arts avi berkdb crypt cups encode foomaticdb gdbm gif gnome gpm gtk gtk2 imap imlib jpeg kde ldap libg++ libwww mad mbox mikmod milter motif mpeg mysql ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png python qt quicktime readline sasl sdl slang spell ssl svga tcpd truetype x86 xml2 xmms xv zlib" [ebuild R ] dev-libs/cyrus-sasl-2.1.18 +gdbm -java -kerberos +ldap +mysql +pam -postgres +ssl -static 0 kB [ebuild R ] mail-mta/sendmail-8.12.11-r3 +ldap -mailwrapper +mbox +milter +sasl +ssl +tcpd 0 kB Thanks, Pieter

Please check that you have a file /etc/sasl2/Sendmail.conf. Sometime in the previous release, Sendmail.conf has moved from /usr/lib/sasl/ to /etc/sasl2/. Please post the content of /etc/sasl2/Sendmail.conf.
