From: ChantCd_com on 24 Oct 2006 14:05 Below is an old thread (from Sept 12, 2001) but it never solved the problem.I'm having pretty much the same problem. When I telnet to port 25 of localhost, I get this error in the log file (and Telnet hangs): "fatal: SASL per-process initialization failed" I am trying to use MySQL for my user authentication. I am running OpenSuSE 10.1 Matthew --------------------------------------------------- Hi all, I spent days compiling and recompiling both cyrus SASL (1.5.24) and Postfix (snapshot-20010808) but no matter what I did, I would still get the below error: It starts properly: Sep 10 14:53:58 vincent postfix/postfix-script: starting the Postfix system Sep 10 14:53:58 vincent postfix/master[17541]: daemon started Then when I telnet to port 25, the connection hangs and the log shows this: Sep 10 14:54:41 vincent postfix/smtpd[17547]: fatal: SASL per-process initialization failed Sep 10 14:54:42 vincent postfix/master[17541]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd pid 17547 exit status 1 Sep 10 14:54:42 vincent postfix/master[17541]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling I looked through all the mailing lists and all I could find was an unanswered thread posted in May. What I would like to accomplish is use SMTP AUTH with Postfix where the user details are in a mysql database. I have sasl authentication happening through mysql already I just need postfix to recognize SASL. I'm using pam_mysql. Here are the options I used for cyrus SASL 1.5.24: ../configure --prefix=/usr --enable-login --disable-krb4 --disable-gssapi --disable-anon --disable-plain --enable-pwcheck These are the options for Postfix snapshot-20010808: make makefiles CCARGS="-DHAS_MYSQL -I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql -DUSE_SASL_AUTH -I/usr/include" AUXLIBS="-L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqlclient -lz -lm -L/usr/lib -lsasl -lpam -lpam_misc" My main.cf for postfix has this in it for sasl authentication: smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, check_relay_domains smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtp_sasl_password_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_auth.conf The /etc/postfix/mysql_auth.conf file looks like this: ------------ user = user password = pass dbname = dbname table = user select_field = user where_field = password hosts = localhost ------------- It doesn't even seem to connect to the database. Sorry for making this message so long. I hope I didn't leave out any important info. Can anyone give me some pointers, more documentation to read or just tell me what I'm doing wrong?

The default is to do so these days. If so, did you copy all of the files you need into the chroot jail? The documentation implies that it is impossibly hard to do so, I think I copied just a few more library fles and the sasl authentication database. I think that the files may have to be copied in under /var/spool/postfix/etc/sasldb needs to be there, for example. Try not chrooting the smtpd process and if that works, try copying the contents of /usr/lib/sasl and /etc/sasldb into the chroot jail. If you want to go through mysql there may be conflicts with the unix socket for mysql - you may have to turn off chroot period. I was able to get sasl auth to work chrooted (I allow some friends to relay through my server because the local popular ISP, bellsouth, seems to be unable to configure their smtp servers to use a real hostname in the helo message) but I wanted some anto relay, so I use sasl to force a userid/password.
