This was the postfix error when switching from /var/run to /run (in /etc/default, systemd service updated to take pidfile from this file - https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1053472#35, directory permissions updated as required)Package: sasl2-bin Version: 2.1.28+dfsg1-9 Followup-For: Bug #1110309 X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? After upgrading to trixie I get this error in saslauthd logs Feb 27 13:15:29 comms-staging systemd[1]: /usr/lib/systemd/system/saslauthd.service:8: PIDFile= references a path below legacy directory /var/run/, updating /var/run/saslauthd/saslauthd.pid → /run/saslauthd/saslauthd.pid; please update the unit file accordingly. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I tried to set the path in /etc/saslauthd and in /etc/systemd/system/saslauthd.service.d/override.conf to /var/spool/postfix/run/saslauthd/saslauthd.pid [Service] PIDFile=/var/spool/postfix/run/saslauthd/saslauthd.pid * What was the outcome of this action? But ldap authentication failed and I had to switch it back to /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd/saslauthd.pid

I did restart both postfix and saslauthd? How do we tell postfix to look in /var/spool/postfix/run/saslauthd ?
