I have two mail systems almost identical, accept one is FC2 the other
FC3. The FC3 is a fresh install to update the FC2 system, so I have
copied across all the config files to the new system. I use SMTP AUTH
for login of remote users, but alas in FC3 this does not work. I use my
LDAP server to supply login details, but it seems that cyrus-sasl no
longer seems to use this method, but insists it uses the salsdb2 database.
I have found the documentation for this which suggests altering the
Sednmail.conf file in /var/lib/sasl2 to pwcheck_method: PAM, but all I
get in the log file is this error :
sendmail[10334]: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2: No such file
or directory
sendmail[10334]: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2: No such file
or directory
sendmail[10334]: no secret in database
sendmail[10334]: unknown password verifier
sendmail[10334]: Password verification failed
sendmail[10334]: unknown password verifier
If I set this back to standard pwcheck_method:saslauthd, it gives this
error :
sendmail[10613]: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2: No such file
or directory
sendmail[10613]: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2: No such file

sendmail[10613]: Password verification failed
sendmail[10613]: cannot connect to saslauthd server: No such file or

The old FC2 system has the pwcheck_method set in this way and works fine.
Can anyone help me with this ?
I don't know if this'll work but try:
/usr/lib/sasl2/Sendmail.conf:
pwcheck_method:saslauthd
/etc/sysconfig/saslauthd
MECH=pam
or
MECH=ldap
and restart saslauthd:
# chkconfig saslauthd on
# service saslauthd start
This is based on guesswork since I don't use ldap at all myself.
