So, maybe it's inappropriate to post links here, but check out this faq: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-502523-highlight-sqlselect +missing.html Ya, for gentoo, but seems possibly appicable. Mainly, I'm suspicious of the file /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf, specifically it's location. Obviously saslfinger is locating the file, the 'sql_select' option just fine, and assuming there is no syntax error it is probably set correctly. Still, static config files are often located in /etc/<somewhere>, and I read a couple other faqs mentioning the location of /etc/sasl2/smtpd.conf. Possibly, saslfinger is locating the file in the right location, but there is a duplicate file in the /etc/sasl2/ dir that is taking precedence in the postfix program stack. Or, maybe as the FAQ above mentions, there needs to be a file there with dummy values set? If you're not using mysql for your sasl auth mechanism knowingly other FAQs mentioned just removing mysql lib the files in /usr/lib/sasl2. Doing this, however, may break SASL mechanism in the outside chance you use it for other services on the box somewhere/somehow? I'm always leary of 'delete' options, i'd say move the files and test. I haven't set up a mysql SASL mechanism configuration myself so I'm really guessing. But these were a couple things I read and became suspicious of from your output. - Joe On Wed, 2010-04-14 at 11:42 -0400, Aldrich, Dak wrote: > So i'm at it again.
