Public bug reported:
When saslauthd is started, it will forcefully reset the permissions of
the directory that contains the socket to which postfix must open:
Starting SASL Authentication Daemon: mode of `/var/run/saslauthd'
changed to 0710 (rwx--x---)
Given that the ownership of this directory belongs to the root user and
the sasl group, there is no reasonable way for postfix to access this.
Adding postfix to the sasl group will not help, unless I chmod this
directory to 0750. However, this only represents a temporary fix
because as soon as saslauthd is restarted, the directory will be forced
back to 0710.
IMHO, the permissions should always be 0750 so that any daemon that
wants SASL can simply be made a member of the sasl group.
