The easiest fix is to add correct -m switch to saslauthd if POSTFIX_CHROOT is yes.
I did it manually by running
/usr/sbin/saslauthd -a pam -n 5 -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/sasl2
Then other programms using saslauthd will not work anymore. The chroot script of postfix tries to create a link from the chroot to the original socket of saslauthd, which would be the correct way to solve this problem. Something seems to be wrong with that. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
