Many thanks to Andreas Winkelmann who walked me through many possibilities (was off-list) - I would have stopped far earlier.
Hope that helps. But beware, you DONT WANT TO HAVE /etc/shadow o+r !
Moving postfix/smtpd into the shadow group may solve the problem better but is another security risk by itself. The page above however presents another alternative (pwcheck) so not all is lost. At least, one mystery is solved.
Jumping in here I would like to know how the pwcheck-method works... My suse 8.1 does not provide such a daemon, (or I did not search hard enough :-))
If anybody at this list did a successful setup with postfix / pwcheck on suse8.1 could give me a hint ?!
"pwcheck" is another daemon. But it is not included in Suse-8.1. If you really want to use it, you have to build sasl at yourself. Or the best install a actual version (2.1.18 is out) and use saslauthd if you want to use pam. -- Andreas
