Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 186927
sendmail 8.12.11-4.24.1.legacy does not provide /etc/pam.d/smtp
Last modified: 2007-04-18 13:40:45 EDT
Description of problem: sendmail 8.12.11-4.24.1.legacy is an upgrade offered for sendmail 8.12.8-9.90, but it does not offer /etc/pam.d/smtp which is found in the older sendmail package. Instead it is replaced with /etc/pam.d/smtp.sendmail but breaks smtp authentication. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 8.12.11-4.24.1.legacy How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install sendmail 8.12.8-9.90 2. setup a working smtp ssl/tls authentication setup 3. upgrade to sendmail 8.12.11-4.24.1.legacy Actual results: Users trying to send mail via smtp authenticated relay will be denied access to relay through server. Expected results: Authenticated users via smtp should be able to send outgoing mail. Additional info: As a workaround, I linked /etc/pam.d/smtp to /etc/pam.d/smtp.sendmail and smtp authentication began to work normally again.
Thank you for reporting this bug, Stephen. We have proposed Red Hat Linux 9 sendmail packages in QA that should fix this issue, and some other issues as well. They are posted in Bug #186277 comment #55, and we would welcome your QA on these packages, if you have the inclination, time and resources to do so. You should be able to upgrade from either sendmail-8.12.8-9.90 or sendmail-8.12.11-4.24.1.legacy to the proposed sendmail-8.12.11-4.24.3.legacy package (download links in Bug #186277) and the issue should be resolved either way. Am closing this bug as a duplicate of Bug #186277 since this issue is being worked on there. You should automatically be added to the cc: list of that bug as this one is closed, so you will be kept up to date on developments and release information. Thanks again. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 186277 ***
