Description Steven Marzec 2006-03-27 15:25:25 UTC
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.

Comment 1 David Eisenstein 2006-03-27 16:09:56 UTC
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.
