Description Patrick Ogenstad 2003-04-24 09:20:51 UTC

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

Comment 1 Daniel Seyffer 2003-05-21 12:18:31 UTC

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.
