Fwd: Re: Fwd: Re: postfix and SASL
I ran the saslpasswd2 -c <username> command to no avail... im still
receiving the blasted password prompt.

I know that sasl uses sasldb2 by default, but i swear i changed that to pam.

I really hate to say it, but have you consulted any of the fine
documentation that comes with Postfix, Cyrus-SASL, or even the
gentoo-wiki.com HOWTOs? With all of the documentation available on the
web, I'm not certain the gentoo-security mailing list is the proper
place to be debugging your postfix/sasl problems.

Well dave, actually yes. I have read every Artcile on the wiki remotely
close to SASL, even the ones using mysql for authentication/databasing
etc... Ive read the ENTIRE postfix handbook, just for giggles, and Ive gone
over any thread on the forum remotely related to this issue in the past 12
months...


So...

With that said, what would be the approprate mailing list to debug this
problem DAVE?

I would suggest gentoo-users. Since this is not a security related
question with regard to gentoo, the gentoo-security list is obviously
not the proper place to post a topic like this.
