Hi, I've been following The Perfect Server guide for setting up and ubuntu server (http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-10.04-lucid-lynx-ispconfig-2-p5) and it has been going smooth until setting up postfix. I have gotten through all the commands without issue until the setting up TLS certificates portion. When I run the command: Code: openssl genrsa -des3 -rand /etc/hosts -out smtpd.key 1024 It asks for a password which it doesn't mention anything about in the guide. so I entered an arbitrary password and pressed on. I did leave a lot of the questions it asks about country, company and stuff blank just because that was another part the guide doesn't mention anything about. But anyways, It was going well until I had to run the command: Code: mv -f smtpd.key.unencrypted smtpd.key to which I got the error: mv: cannot stat `smtpd.key.unencrypted': No Such file or directory So I'm assuming I messed up something around the password part or just before It. I'm not entirely sure. Any thoughts? EDIT: Also do you think I am able to progress with the other parts of the guide without finishing this part of it?
this is the command that requests a password Code: openssl genrsa -des3 -rand /etc/hosts -out smtpd.key 1024 and then Here is the bit that I mentioned before where it asked me a lot of questions. are there certain ones that need to be answered and ones that don't? I like to stay as anonymous as possible. Code: root@Lemmiwinks:/etc/postfix/ssl# openssl req -new -key smtpd.key -out smtpd.csrEnter pass phrase for smtpd.key: You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated into your certificate request. What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN. There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank For some fields there will be a default value, If you enter '.', the field will be left blank. ----- Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]:. State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:. Locality Name (eg, city) []:. Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]:. Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:. Common Name (eg, YOUR name) []:. Email Address []:. error, no objects specified in config file problems making Certificate Request root@Lemmiwinks:/etc/postfix/ssl# So yes at the 2nd openssl command I get a error which seems to be tied to me not filling out all the fields.
Ok just pressing enter worked for that portion of it. I think you should consider adding that direction into your guide Here is my next issue: Code: root@Lemmiwinks:/etc/postfix/ssl# /etc/init.d/saslauthd start * To enable saslauthd, edit /etc/default/saslauthd and set START=yes root@Lemmiwinks:/etc/postfix/ssl# telnet localhost 25 Trying ::1...

I'm checking right now to see if I mistyped something or simply missed something. but if you know exactly what would cause that not to show that would greatly help EDIT: I forgot to change "START=yes" I did that now but still do not get the AUTH LOGIN PLAIN outputs :[
