View Full Version : Perfect Setup - Fedora Core 3 - saslauthd problem

Hi.

I read in one of Falko's posts somewhere that the Perfect Setup Fedora Core 3 is basically the same for Fedora Core 2. I have followed that and have got so far, but now I have encountered my first error.

Now start Postfix, saslauthd, imap and pop3:

chkconfig --levels 235 sendmail off
chkconfig --levels 235 postfix on
chkconfig --levels 235 saslauthd on
works fine.
We then come to
chkconfig imap on
and I get an error,
error reading information on service imap: No such file or directory
which is fine as Dovecot was installed instead of imap, so I change this to
chkconfig Dovecot on
and it seems to be ok.
chkconfig imaps on
chkconfig ipop3 on
chkconfig pop3s on
all produce the same error.

>>>>> Should I replace these lines with anything or just leave them out?

/etc/init.d/sendmail stop
/etc/init.d/postfix start
/etc/init.d/saslauthd start
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart

All seem to work ok apart from /etc/init.d/saslauthd start which throws an error saying could not read from startup_pipe

If I just type saslauthd start at the prompt I get an error telling me no authentication method specified and list of options which seems to suggest that saslauthd is there somewhere ready to go but I'm just not giving it the right information. I tried saslauthd -a pam which throws up the message: saslauthd[22578] :detach_tty : Cannot start saslauthd
saslauthd[22578] :detach_tty : could not read from startup_pipe

Obviously I'm missing something here. Would be grateful if someone could help me out.

Thanks in advance

Did you do all the steps from http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_fedora_core_3_p4 ?

What's in /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf?
What's the output of telnet localhost 25 (this telnet thing is also described on http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_fedora_core_3_p4)?

Looks ok. What's in /etc/postfix/main.cf?

You seem to have sasl and sasl2 installed at the same time. Can you run this:

mv /usr/lib/sasl /usr/lib/sasl_orig
ln -s /usr/lib/sasl2 /usr/lib/sasl

and then restart Postfix and try this telnet thing again?

Ok Falko - did that - results were:
[root@median root]# mv /usr/lib/sasl /usr/lib/sasl_orig
mv: overwrite `/usr/lib/sasl_orig/sasl'? y
[root@median root]# ln -s /usr/lib/sasl2 /usr/lib/sasl
[root@median root]# postfix stop

Jan 28 11:40:35 median postfix/smtpd[27292]: warning: smtpd_sasl_auth_enable is true, but SASL support is not compiled in

That's the explanation why it doesn't work for you. You don't seem to have the correct Postfix package installed.
What exactly did you do to install Postfix and saslauthd?

28th January 2006, 13:38

apt-get install cyrus-sasl cyrus-sasl-devel cyrus-sasl-gssapi cyrus-sasl-md5 cyrus-sasl-plain postfix dovecot

When I ran this it told me I already had latest version of cyrus*

How can I get rid of this problem please Falko?

The server is a vps. Would I need to get my hosting company to do a rebuild? Hoping i don't need to as they are very slow at doing things.

Ok. Just come across /etc/postfix/postfix.spec.sf which is as follows:

#
# This file contains the following information:
#
# - configuration options used to build the installed postfix rpm
# - generated when the binary rpm was built
#
# - Postfix RPM build instructions
# - for upgrading the installed rpm with the same options
# - for building the rpm with other options
#
# 1. CONFIGURATION OPTIONS OF INSTALLED BINARY RPM
#
# Package built on: fedora-release-2-4 (fedora-2.0)

POSTFIX_ALT_PRIO=30
POSTFIX_CDB=0
POSTFIX_DB=4
POSTFIX_IPV6=0
POSTFIX_LDAP=0
POSTFIX_MYSQL=0
POSTFIX_MYSQL_PATHS=0
POSTFIX_MYSQL_REDHAT=0
POSTFIX_PCRE=0
POSTFIX_PGSQL=0
POSTFIX_SASL=0
POSTFIX_SMTPD_MULTILINE_GREETING=1
POSTFIX_SPF=0
POSTFIX_TLS=1
POSTFIX_VDA=0

# export values to child processes
export POSTFIX_MYSQL POSTFIX_MYSQL_PATHS POSTFIX_MYSQL_REDHAT POSTFIX_LDAP POSTFIX_PCRE POSTFIX_PGSQL POSTFIX_SASL POSTFIX_SPF POSTFIX_TLS POSTFIX_IPV6 POSTFIX_VDA POSTFIX_SMTPD_MULTILINE_GREETING POSTFIX_DB POSTFIX_INCLUDE_DB POSTFIX_CDB POSTFIX_ALT_PRIO

# other options used in the build (but not explicitly changeable by the user) are:
# - debug=0
# - pcre_requires=pcre,
# - requires_zlib=0,
# - sasl_library=cyrus-sasl-devel
# - tlsfix=0
#
# /etc/postfix/makedefs.out is also produced by the build and may be of
# interest if you are building Postfix by hand.

The file date is back in June 2005 which is before I got the vps, so I'm guessing it's put there at build time.

Just guessing, but maybe POSTFIX_SASL=0 is the reason postfix didn't install with sasl support?

If so, do I just change that to POSTFIX_SASL=1 and uncomment # - sasl_library=cyrus-sasl-devel then re-install to get it to work as it should?

No, that won't work because you will have to rebuild Postfix first. /etc/postfix/postfix.spec.sf is just a configuration file for the Postfix build...

I recommend you do everything as outlined in the FC3 tutorial ( http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_fedora_core_3 ).
First check /etc/apt/sources.list. It should contain
rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/3/i386 core updates freshrpms
rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/3/i386 tupdates
rpm-src http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/3/i386 core updates freshrpms
rpm-src http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/3/i386 tupdates
rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/2/i386 core updates freshrpms
rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/1/i386 core updates freshrpms
, nothing else. Run apt-get update afterwards.
Then do the Postfix stuff as described on http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_fedora_core_3_p4 , starting with
apt-get install cyrus-sasl cyrus-sasl-devel cyrus-sasl-gssapi cyrus-sasl-md5 cyrus-sasl-plain postfix dovecot (I've replaced imap with dovecot for you already).

Done the apt-get and it threw up a few errors (see below). I haven't done the postfix stuff yet - waiting to see if I need to do anything about these errors first

I'd try to ignore these warnings, most of them merely say that a backup of some old configuration file has been made. I don't know if this sendmail error is important.
Please go on with the Postfix/saslauthd configuration and see if it works then.

Finished the configuration which threw up an error about not being able to stop sendmail, but then it had already been stopped by the last attempt.
