I'm trying to configure sendmail to authenticate against the system password file for SMTP using the ports collection and having a heck of a time with it. saslauthdb works great when tested with testsaslauthd (testsaslauthd -s smtp -u XXXXX -p XXXXX returns Success), but when testing by hand with the same account through sendmail (with the same bare username, no realm), I get the following error: saslauthd[38367]: do_auth : auth failure: [user=XXXXXXX] [service=smtp] [realm=] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error] From the other side, I see sendmail offering "250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN" (what I want) in the ESTMP session and doing the auth login prompting, but then returning "535 5.7.0 authentication failed" in response to the base64-ed username and password. Can anyone shed light on this? Here's my configuration: FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #1 Sendmail 8.13.6/8.13.6 (installed via mail/sendmail-sasl compiled against an earlier install of security/cyrus-sasl2 -- I can see it passing the "-DSASL=2" during make) /usr/local/lib/sasl2/Sendmail.conf has "pwcheck_method: saslauthd" and, I'm assuming from the error message, sendmail is actually calling it.
