RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Răzvan Sandu 2011-10-06 10:05:49 UTC

Description of problem:

The official Red Hat Enterprise Linux Deployment Guide fails to document the file /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd in section D (the complete reference of /etc/sysconfig directory).

http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6-Beta/html-single/Deployment_Guide/index.html#ch-The_sysconfig_Directory

In the guide, there is no paragraph about configuring a RHEL SMTP server with SASL, neither via the cyrus backend nor via the dovecot backend (dovecot being the default option in RHEL).


Thanks,
Răzvan

Hi Răzvan,

I have updated Appendix D, “The sysconfig Directory” and added documentation for the /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd file. As for the second part of your request, I discussed this with Josef Škarvada and Stephen Wadeley and we all agreed that the best place for this kind of documentation would be the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Security Guide. Consequently, I cloned this request as bug 869728.

Thank you,
Jaromir
