I'm using openssl, saslauthd and sendmail as installed during a recent CentOS5 upgrade. I've verified that sendmail was compiled with SASLv2 and STARTTLS support. I configured TLS certs and had them signed by cacert.org... I configured sendmail to use them.
# cat /usr/lib/sasl2/Sendmail.conf pwcheck_method:saslauthd mech_list:login plain saslauthd_path:/var/run/saslauthd/ # cat /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd SOCKETDIR=/var/run/saslauthd MECH=shadow I verified that saslauthd can authenticate against the /etc/shadow using testsaslauthd: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mail]# testsaslauthd -u test -p xxxx1234 0: OK "Success." I start saslauthd in debug mode with: saslauthd -m /var/run/saslauthd -a shadow -d MUA with TLS support initiates a connection and receives the server certificate correctly. Then the password is sent... Sendmail throws: sendmail[12605]: m6FJ5aUj012605: AUTH failure (LOGIN): generic failure (-1) SASL(-1): generic failure: checkpass failed There's no output from saslauthd that sendmail even made a connection. I've beat my head against a wall and Google for 2 weeks in every direction and I cannot find any configuration problems. I'm also at the extent of my knowledge debugging sasl2. How can I trace the connection between sendmail and saslauthd?
