The essence of problem seems to be the stalled Cyrus SASL version in Debian. Both 2.1.22 in Stable and 2.1.23 in Testing have "plugins/ntlm.c" code unchanged since 2005.

This piece of code had been patched by CMU team intensively in 2009 only, in version 2.1.24.

So, I still do not know what to do with production servers. Either to freeze Samba at 3.0.X or compile Cyrus SASL 2.1.24 from source.

Hello all.

I use several Debian servers running since 2005. All them use Samba->NTLM->Cyrus SASL authentication chain for Cyrus IMAP and Postfix SMTP services, in very trivial form:

pwcheck_method: saslauthd
mech_list: plain ntlm
ntlm_server: 127.0.0.1

The problem: upon upgrade from Samba 3.0 to Samba 3.2, the NTLM athentication dies both for SMTP and IMAP clients, with the following log records:

Jul 22 17:40:22 obolon postfix/smtpd[26140]: NTLM server step 1
Jul 22 17:40:22 obolon postfix/smtpd[26140]: client flags: ffff8207
Jul 22 17:40:22 obolon postfix/smtpd[26140]: NTLM: incorrect bytecount
for NEGPROT response data

Same happens both with Debian-provided Samba (3.2.5 in Lenny) and with self-built Samba 3.2.4; no difference. Old self-built Samba 3.0.25 authenticates SASL clents fine, without any problems.

Can anyone offer any explanations, configuration changes or diagnostic tests?

Alexey
