OK, I have now added the ldapdb plugin from openldap-2.1.22 to cyrus-sasl2:

http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/cooker/cyrus-sasl2-2.1.13-2mdk.src.rpm

But I am not sure if I have it configured right (in fact I suspect I
don't). Not knowing too much about SASL myself, can you summarise what
is needed?

At present I have:
- -added a sasl-regexp to my slapd.conf on my ldap server
- -put the following in my /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf:
pwcheck_method:  ldapdb
ldapdb_uri: ldapi://bgmilne.cae.co.za
ldapdb_mech: EXTERNAL
(I can't add a local slave to the box that I am testing postfix on at
present, so bgmilne.cae.co.za is really the ldap server on my cooker box
which I added the sasl-regexp to)
- -put the smtpd_sasl stuff into my main.cf

Now, I get the following in the postfix logs:

Jul  1 21:55:38 hermes postfix/smtpd[11673]: warning: SASL
authentication failure: no secret in database
Jul  1 21:55:38 hermes postfix/smtpd[11673]: warning:

Jul  1 21:55:40 hermes postfix/smtpd[11673]: warning:
bgmilne.cae.co.za[146.232.174.36]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed

I bumped up the log level on my slapd, and get no queries coming through
when postfix tries authenticating.

I guess I should have started off with a working configuration before
updating so many packages ... but maybe I will try that at home ...

OK, I tried with "pwcheck_method:  pam", and it doesn't work either ...
time to go home ...

BTW, I really think sasl has about the worst documentation of any of the
server-side software ...
