Package: postfix Version: 2.9.6-2 Followup-For: Bug #714770 Dear Maintainer,
I had a Debian 6.0/squeeze system running multiple postfix instances and using the bind mount example to get the saslauthd mux to the chroots as suggested in the wiki. Since upgrading to Debian 7.0/wheezy the mount has failed on boot due, I believe, to the /run directory change from /var/run to /run as a tempfs. Now on each boot I get the "mount: special device /run/saslauthd does not exist". (I initially got the message about /var/run but I attempted to fix it by updating the fstab to point to /run instead. It appears this fails because /etc/init.d/mountall.sh calls mount_local before mount_run so the mounts under /run fail at first and are not retried. If I run mount -a or mount /var/run/postfix/var/run/saslauthd (and again for the other postfix chroots) after boot it works. I have seen the README.Debian and am aware of the -m option to saslauthd, but that doesn't cover multiple postfix instances. Running multiple instances of saslauthd seems daunting and heavy-handed to fix something that bind mount use to provide. Ideally postfix would see that smtpd is chrooted, needs sasl, and does what it needs to do to bring saslauthd or whatever it's configured to use into the chroot via bind mounts, multiple saslauthd instances or whatever. Overall I appreciate having Postfix on Debian.
