I have built a current version of postfix that links against sasl v1, there is a good chance this will solve your problem, I personally have not tested it. Please give it a try and let me know what your results are. ftp://people.redhat.com/jdennis/postfix-2.0.16-7.saslv1.i386.rpm I have downloaded the rpm and test it. I will let you whether problem still persist Did this RPM work? The rpm worked fine. I am using only simple authentication not sasl now. Thanks very much I'm glad this is working for you. But I would like to verify something to make sure I'm not missing something. Both the synopsis of the bug and comment #5 make reference to authentication, I hope this is just loose vocabulary. What authentication are you refering to? If you're refering to the ldap bind operation we're fine, but if you mean postfix authentication (e.g. SMTP AUTH) then I need to understand things better. The reason I ask is because postfix can only to the best of my knowledge authenticate through via the SASL library which should have been broken by reverting to v1 sasl in the package I gave you (as long as you have not modified default groups or permissions). So when you say simple authentication is working for you, you mean ldap bind and not SMTP AUTH right? I was referring to ldap simple bind operation. Before the fix I tried LDAP SASL mechanism, TLS and simple bind operation, I was getting segmentation faul error. As soon as I got your fix, I tried simple bind operation then others and it works fine. I'm having exactly the same issue (RHEL 3.0, postfix-2.0.11-4). On an older system (RH 8.0, postfix-1.1.12-0.8, cyrus-sasl-2.1.10-1) I build a modified specfile that build an RPM with both LDAP table support and SMTP AUTH via sasl. Is there an expected timeframe for this support to make it into RHEL 3.0? This problem has been fixed and will appear in RHEL 3 Update 2. In the mean time if you want you can download the package from here, ftp://people.redhat.com/jdennis/postfix-2.0.16-12.RHEL3.i386.rpm If you discover any problems with it I would appreciate knowing ASAP. Preliminary testing of the RPM looks fine, the LDAP lookups now work
exactly as advertised. I haven't tested the AMTP AUTH via SASL yet,
hope to test tomorrow. Looks good so far!
BTW, it's not obvious but you can use the 'postmap' tool to test the
LDAP lookups as well as hash lookups. The syntax for an LDAP lookup is:
postmap -q 'foo' ldap:ldapmapname
The '-v' switch provides a lot of extra information, which helped in
the debugging process.
