Hi guys
I recently upgraded my mailserver from Ubuntu gutsy to hardy an
somehow SASL broke in the process:
I am using postfix with ldap for authentication and configuration. The
configuration part (aliases) works nicely, but when I try to submit to
port 587 which does an authentication via sasl/ldap I get:
mail.log shows this:

given that the new version of SASL works differently I have 2
instances running now, this is the one for postfix

#
# Should saslauthd run automatically on startup? (default: no)

# Which authentication mechanisms should saslauthd use? (default: pam)

# getpwent -- use the getpwent() library function

# shadow -- use the local shadow password file
# sasldb -- use the local sasldb database file

# Only one option may be used at a time. See the saslauthd man page

I did the dpkg-statoverride --add root sasl 710

and to add insult to injury:
root at collab:# sudo -u postfix testsaslauthd -f
/var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd/mux -u xxxxxxx -p xyz
0: OK "Success."
what am I missing?
this worked rather nicely before the upgrade from ubuntu gutsy to hardy
thanks
