Comment 1 Cameron Christensen 2003-12-10 22:43:27 UTC 
When smtp auth authentication is enabled for sendmail, the actual
authenticaion process fails and reports this to /var/log/messages

Dec  9 17:06:49 station2 saslauthd[19511]: do_auth         : auth
failure: [user=username] [service=smtp] [realm=] [mech=pam]
[reason=PAM auth error]
Dec  9 17:06:49 station2 sendmail[19650]: Password verification failed

Work-around was to create the /etc/pam.d/smtp file by hand and add

#%PAM-1.0
auth       required     pam_stack.so service=system-auth
account    required     pam_stack.so service=system-auth
Comment 2 Florian La Roche 2003-12-11 13:31:29 UTC 
Do you have also postfix installed? I have a bug-report that the file
can get deleted by postfix since it is not setup via "alternatives".

Current rpm has this bug fixed, thanks for reporting this.
