Bug 57411 – pam_mysql is incompatible with newer versions of cyrus-sasl

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: [OLD] Docs-user

[Description Patrick Watson 2004-07-17 13:00:41 UTC]

Newer versions of cyrus-sasl are not compatible with pam_mysql as seen in bug #39497. The howto needs to be updated to reflex this.

Cyrus-sasl must be emerged with USE="pam-mysql" to use the current pam_mysql setup.
Alternatively, I recomment using cyrus-sasl's built in mysql support. Details can be found in bug #39497.

Reproducible: Always

cyrus-imap-2.1.19 bring back the old behavior for those preferred. Just edit /etc/conf.d/saslauthd:
SASLAUTHD_OPTS="${SASLAUTH_MECH} -a pam -r"
add option "-r" to have saslauthd works with pam_mysql as before. The change is made from upstream so we don't need USE="pam-mysql" anymore.

Bleh; just not my kind of bread. Perhaps Ken (antifa) can provide an update?

Here is exactly what needs to be added to the guide:

Thanks for the link. I've updated the smtpd.conf excerpt with the information from the thread.
