 |
|
I got an email from a user recently that said they can no longer authenticate to sendmail SMTP.
I've tried to look into the problem, but can't seem to work it out.
I do know that the day it started happening is the day that a pam update would not install without me removing orphan entries from /etc/pam.d
Since I did that update, the user cannot authenticate any more.
I've been trying it myself with the same error.
| Code: | Mar 20 15:57:11 hostname sm-mta[7441]: m2K4v07s007441: AUTH failure (PLAIN): authentication failure (-13) SASL(-13): authentication failure: Password verification failed
Mar 20 17:21:45 hostname saslauthd[7351]: do_auth : auth failure: [user="xxxx"] [service=smtp] [realm=] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error]
|
And in the telnet session itself:
| Code: | AUTH PLAIN xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
535 5.7.0 authentication failed
|
Any idea why this might be happening?
Should I revert back to the old version of pam? |

| Well I fixed it... but unfortunately I tried so many things that I can't remember which change worked. |
