Install one was on a clean 4.7 system, and works like a charm. Using pwcheck_pam, everything's peachy. On the other system, also a 4.7 install, currently running sendmail, I'm attempting to migrate to postfix. Everything seems to be working fine, except I cannot get SMTP AUTH to work properly. I've got pwcheck_pam running, just like on System 1. /usr/local/lib/sasl/smtpd.conf contains: pwcheck_method: pwcheck just like on System 1. However, when I connect to System 2, and do an AUTH PLAIN (base64-encoded-string), it hangs for 5 seconds or so and spits back "Authentication failed", whereas on System 1, it immediately returns with authentication accepted. One clue - when I truss pwcheck_pam on System 1, it shows lots of activity. When I truss it on System 2, there's no activity at all. So it looks like System 2 isn't even contacting the pwcheck daemon to try to auth the password. I'm at my wit's end, so hopefully someone will be able to point me toward something to try to get this working. Any help will be appreciated.
