*re1107.1 When first run (and there is no sasldb in /etc), sasl creates the file and apparently does its job, but exits with an error. [root@ha7 root]# saslpasswd -c foo Password: Again (for verification): saslpasswd: generic failure [root@ha7 root]# echo $? 1
Actually, it doesn't do its job. It only adds the passwd in two of three forms, digest-md5 and cram-md5 (but not plain). Subsequent additions do add all three forms, however: [kaboom@dagnar etc]$ sudo saslpasswd -c ming-sasl -u mail.lenin.nu Password: Again (for verification): saslpasswd: generic failure [kaboom@dagnar etc]$ sudo /usr/sbin/sasldblistusers user: ming-sasl realm: mail.lenin.nu mech: DIGEST-MD5 user: ming-sasl realm: mail.lenin.nu mech: CRAM-MD5 [kaboom@dagnar etc]$ sudo saslpasswd -c frob-sasl -u mail.lenin.nu Password: Again (for verification): [kaboom@dagnar etc]$ sudo /usr/sbin/sasldblistusers user: ming-sasl realm: mail.lenin.nu mech: DIGEST-MD5 user: ming-sasl realm: mail.lenin.nu mech: CRAM-MD5 user: frob-sasl realm: mail.lenin.nu mech: DIGEST-MD5 user: frob-sasl realm: mail.lenin.nu mech: PLAIN user: frob-sasl realm: mail.lenin.nu mech: CRAM-MD5 [kaboom@dagnar etc]$ This is a problem when creating accounts which have to be in plain format (eg, for drek like Outlook). It's also still true as of skipjack beta3
This is still true with 7.3 gold
Still broken with milan beta3
Still broken with beta5....
still broken with RHL 8.0
