All,
I have an off topic question regarding SASLAUTHD in a NIS
environment, I'm in the process of deploying a second mail server in a NIS
environment, the first one was run on the NIS Master so the shadow file was
local, the second one will be on a NIS Slave so there will be no shadow
file to speak of. What is the correct way to do simple plain text auth?
I also seem to be having a more basic issue with saslauthd, even
with a local account in the password/shadow files the second server is
saying the connection is refused as the log shows below:
[code]
2004-05-12 22:09:43 fixed_login authenticator failed for
(kmb-dell.chantrynetworks.com) [192.168.5.123]: 435 Unable to authenticate
at present (set_id=kmb): cannot connect to saslauthd daemon at
/var/run/saslauthd/mux: Connection refused
[/code]
The configuration is the same on both servers, with the following exceptions:
1) The working server is running version 2.1.10 and the non working server
is running 2.1.15
2) The obvious location differences wrt server name, ip addresses and the
like.
3) working server is running RH 9.0 non working server is running RH ES 3.1
Any insight is greatly appreciated
