I just upgraded to cyrus-sasl-2.1.25-r3 from 2.1.23-r6. Ran revdep-rebuild, restarted postfix and saslauthd, and I'm running into errors authenticating for SMTP.

Here is a snip from my mail.log:
Code:
Dec  6 09:35:06 mail.comp.com postfix/smtpd[5652]: connect from nat.comp.com[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]

Dec  6 09:35:08 mail.comp.com postfix/smtpd[5652]: disconnect from nat.comp.com[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]


Here is a snip from my auth.log:

As you can see, not much info. Looking at USE flags for cyrus-sasl-2.1.25-r3, I see that crypt is no longer an option. I'm thinking that might be an issue. Currently, passwords are stored in MySQL, I'm hoping that this might be a simple smtpd.conf misconfiguration. dispatch-conf did not show any updates to that config though?

Here is my smtpd.conf:
Code:
pwcheck_method: auxprop
auxprop_plugin: sql
mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN
password_format: crypt
sql_engine: mysql
sql_hostnames: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxx
sql_database: postfix
sql_user: postfix
sql_passwd: xxxxxxxx
sql_select: SELECT password FROM mailbox WHERE username='%u@%r'
sql_usessl: no


Also, here are my emerge outputs for cyrus-sasl and postfix:
Code:
[ebuild     U  ] dev-libs/cyrus-sasl-2.1.25-r3:2 [2.1.23-r6:2] USE="gdbm mysql pam ssl urandom -authdaemond (-berkdb) -java -kerberos -ldapdb% -openldap -postgres -sample -sqlite% -srp -static-libs% (-crypt%*) (-ntlm_unsupported_patch%)" 0 kB
[ebuild   R    ] mail-mta/postfix-2.9.4  USE="berkdb mysql pam sasl ssl vda -cdb -doc -dovecot-sasl -hardened -ldap -ldap-bind -mbox -memcached -nis -postgres (-selinux) -sqlite" 0 kB


Any ideas as to what the problem could be?

Thanks in advance!

yip, bingo.
USE="crypt" does

Code:

use crypt && epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${PN}-2.1.19-checkpw.c.patch


which provides for password_format

Thanks for the reply. I'm a little confused. 2.1.25-r3 doesn't have crypt. Your code looks like it might be from cyrus-sasl-2.1.23-r6.ebuild, which is what I have currently installed. The system wants to update to cyrus-sasl-2.1.25-r3 and that's where the problem is.

Thanks!

correct. that code is from the 2.1.23 ebuild
that line applies this patch
which is what allows you to use encrypted passwords

this does not exist for the 2.1.25 ebuild. I am assuming the package maintainer intentionally removed this - maybe the patch does not apply cleanly on 2.1.25, i dont know.

but certainly without this patch applied, your setup will not work as configured.

I suppose you *could* edit the 2.1.25 ebuild, and tell it to apply the patch - if it patches cleanly, might be worth logging a bug, might be worth logging one anyway.

I'm just confirming that no, without that patch applied (which gets applied conditionally based on the 'crypt' USE flag) your encrypted passwords will not work as configured.

I also dont know if cyrus-sasl maybe added their own functionality without that patch, that makes the patch superfluous - but if they did, it would take different configuration parameters most likely. Either way, yes, that is the problem.

I found this bug report that shows the problem as well:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=445568

Tomorrow I'll try -r4 tomorrow.

Thanks!
