Hi all,

i want to give the thanks the mailing list and the IRC Channel in
FreeNode.org for the help, specially to those named reiffert, simonrvn,
Omnix, TinoW, Bob Johannessen and sorry if i forget somebody.

The machine that is running this Exim instance has been used to
integrate the PAM and LDAP through the pam_ldap module.

There's a file named nsswitch.conf that control some features of the
system in this (and other) process(es).

My nsswitch.conf was showing


       passwd:         ldap compat
       group:          ldap compat
       shadow:         ldap compat


       hosts:          files dns
       netmasks:       files
       netgroup:       files
       publickey:      files


       services:       ldap [NOTFOUND=return] files
       networks:       ldap [NOTFOUND=return] files
       protocols:      ldap [NOTFOUND=return] files
       ethers:         ldap [NOTFOUND=return] files
       rpc:            ldap [NOTFOUND=return] files


       sendmailvars:   files
       bootparams:     files
       automount:      files
       aliases:        files



when they in fact have to show this other lines


       passwd:         ldap compat
       group:          ldap compat
       shadow:         ldap compat


       hosts:          files dns
       netmasks:       files
       netgroup:       files
       publickey:      files


       services:       files ldap
       networks:       files ldap
       protocols:      files ldap
       ethers:         files ldap
       rpc:            files ldap


       sendmailvars:   files
       bootparams:     files
       automount:      files
       aliases:        files



Now, changing those lines the Exim MTA is working fine and the pam_ldap
integration seems to continue working fine.

The pam_ldap integration was done trying to make think Exim that the
users were local posix accounts when in fact they are ldap posixAccount
entries.

Thanks again the mailing list and the #exim irc channel on FreeNode to
help me achieve this and solve the issue.

My best regards,

jonathan
