Further investigation:
The one that works is linked against /usr/lib/libdb-3.2.so, that one
that doesn't is linked against /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2
Changing which one runs only affects whether it hangs at startup or
not. They don't have any effect on the 'service temporarily unavailable'
error I get from esmtpd.
Further playing with authtest (since I think it's got to be authdaemon
related) shows that:
authtest -s esmtp -m authdaemon sam <password>
Gives a successful result, whilst
authtest -s esmtp -m authpam sam <password>
fails. There is a /etc/pam.d/esmtp file which looks vaguely correct
(I don't know enough about PAM to know for sure):
auth required pam_nologin.so
auth required pam_stack.so service=system-auth
account required pam_stack.so service=system-auth
session required pam_stack.so service=system-auth
Any call to authtest with the authpam module will fail, regardless of
the service selected. In authdaemonrc, 'authpam' is selected, so I'm
guessing something is wrong with PAM, though I don't know what. The
installation notes say that special work is only needed for webmail.
Do users need setting up in pam? Does a service need to be running?
I assume pam is being used to lookup a user's home directory in order
to find where to put mail. I'm not (knowingly) using any authentication
for esmtp, since everything is local to the machine (fetchmail->esmtp).
As long as a mail is sent to one of the accepted domains, will it be
forwarded to an account of that user's name, regardless? So mails to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] both go into the home directory
for user 'sam'?
Arturo, I also had an empty backuprelay file, which I've now deleted.
A different error has now gone away, so that's solved things for once
all the above has been fixed. Thanks.
