Debian sarge + sendmail + sasl2 + auth login problem
I am trialling the new debian sarge release for one of our test mail
servers. It was previously a woody install that has undergone a
dist-upgrade.
One thing ive noted is that sendmail will no longer authenticate users
who use outlook/outlook express against the local /etc/passwd
/etc/shadow combinations.
Ive installed the new version of sendmail then sasl2-bin and
libsasl2-modules. Sasl and libsasl and all associated modules
(libsasl-modules-plain?) were already installed.
Saslauthd is starting fine after editing /etc/default/saslauthd and its
set to use pam as a mechanism.
8073 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/saslauthd -a pam
8074 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/saslauthd -a pam
8075 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/saslauthd -a pam
8076 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/saslauthd -a pam
8077 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/saslauthd -a pam
Pam for smtp is the distribution default setup (when it asked to
overwrite it I did)
I ran /usr/share/sendmail/update_auth and it told me to add an include
from /etc/mail/sasl/sasl.m4 into sendmail.mc
Then I ran sendmailconfig:
"Ah, you're setup with SASL2 !
Unfortunately, there is no automagic way to migrate to /etc/sasldb2 :(
You'll want to make sure /etc/default/saslauthd is setup to start,
and has at least MECHANISMS="pam" !"
On telnet to port 25
Escape character is '^]'.

If anyone can see anything I missed or need to add I'd appreciate the
help.
