Hello Justin and Anne, Thank you very much for replying to my post. By default, smtp/pop3/saslauthd are all pam authenticated. Now, my question is how to redirect the password file to etc/sasldb2 and get pam-authenticated? # cat /etc/pam.d/smtp #%PAM-1.0 auth required pam_stack.so service=system-auth account required pam_stack.so service=system-auth # cat /etc/pam.d/dovecot #%PAM-1.0 auth required pam_nologin.so auth required pam_stack.so service=system-auth account required pam_stack.so service=system-auth session required pam_stack.so service=system-auth # cat /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd # Directory in which to place saslauthd's listening socket, pid file, and so # on. This directory must already exist. SOCKETDIR=/var/run/saslauthd # Mechanism to use when checking passwords. Run "saslauthd -v" to get a list # of which mechanism your installation was compiled to use. MECH=shadow # Additional flags to pass to saslauthd on the command line. See saslauthd(8) # for the list of accepted flags. FLAGS= Thank you in advance.
