Thanks John,
I've rebuilt exim and got sasl up and working fine as per the instructions
for Saslauthd.
I'm in the process of testing it using:
/usr/exim/bin/exim -d+auth -bh 127.0.0.1
But I'm getting the following output:
Cannot connect to saslauthd daemon (at '/var/run/saslauthd'): Permission
denied
saslauthd: query failed (cannot connect to saslauthd daemon at
/var/run/saslauthd: Permission denied)
Now checking on google brings up many solutions for a Debian OS (ie put the
exim user into the sasl group), but I've seen no suggestions for a Fedora or
CentOS system - (Those systems don't appear to have a sasl group).
Saslauthd is running as root:root and exim is running as exim:mail
/var/run/saslauthd has permissions of rwx for world and on all files below
and is owned by root:root.
My saslauthd config file in /etc/sysconfig is:
# Directory in which to place saslauthd's listening socket, pid file, and so
# on. This directory must already exist.
SOCKETDIR=/var/run/saslauthd
# Mechanism to use when checking passwords. Run "saslauthd -v" to get a
list
# of which mechanism your installation was compiled with the ablity to use.
MECH=pam
# Additional flags to pass to saslauthd on the command line. See
saslauthd(8)
# for the list of accepted flags.
FLAGS=
SASLAUTHD_OPTS="-a shadow"
Anyone got any suggestions ? My guess is its probably obvious what I've done
wrong !
Thanks
