I think the ebuild for cyrus-sasl is broken. I have been following the virutal mail
howto guide on gentoo.org. However when I emerge cyrus-sasl and finaly get it to
compile (It usualy aborts with a src_compile error the first time)it appears to not be
working or the wrong version.
When starting saslauthd I get a error telling me that "-H" is not an option. Later
requests to /etc/init.d/saslauthd restart will not work. You can't shutdown the daemon
via the init scrip nor can you restart it. It simply says "saslauthd is already
started".
After telling postfix about sasl, and telneting to the mailserver I do not get any
AUTH lines as described in the howto. Below are snips of some of my config files
/usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf
-------------------------
pwcheck_method: saslauthd
mech_list: LOGIN PLAIN
/etc/postfix/main.cf (the sasl2 stuff)this is located at the very end of the file
