I think it can only refer to the uid under which sendmail is running, but can find no proof of that :-) atb Glyn ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

That's a SASL thing -- it has the concept of differentiating between authentication ID (who you are (and you can prove it because you have the password or other security token)) and authorization ID (who you are logging in as, and whose permissions you can use on the remote server). According to /usr/share/sendmail/cf/README: The RHS for an AuthInfo: entry in the access map should consists of a list of tokens, each of which has the form: TDstring (including the quotes). T is a tag which describes the item, D is a delimiter, either ':' for simple text or '=' for a base64 encoded string. Valid values for the tag are: U user (authorization) id I authentication id P password R realm M list of mechanisms delimited by spaces You don't generally need all of these items. For the simplest case, all you'ld need is U:username and P:password -- if you don't give I:authid explicitly it assumes it is the same as U:username (and vice versa, if you give I:authid and not U:username).
