Perfect Setup - Fedora Core 3 - saslauthd problem

No, that won't work because you will have to rebuild Postfix first. /etc/postfix/postfix.spec.sf is just a configuration file for the Postfix build...

I recommend you do everything as outlined in the FC3 tutorial ( http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_fedora_core_3 ).
First check /etc/apt/sources.list. It should contain

Code:

rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/3/i386 core updates freshrpms
rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/3/i386 tupdates
rpm-src http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/3/i386 core updates freshrpms
rpm-src http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/3/i386 tupdates
rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/2/i386 core updates freshrpms
rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/1/i386 core updates freshrpms

, nothing else. Run

Code:

apt-get update

afterwards.
Then do the Postfix stuff as described on http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_fedora_core_3_p4 , starting with

Code:

apt-get install cyrus-sasl cyrus-sasl-devel cyrus-sasl-gssapi cyrus-sasl-md5 cyrus-sasl-plain postfix dovecot

(I've replaced imap with dovecot for you already).

 

Done the apt-get and it threw up a few errors (see below). I haven't done the postfix stuff yet - waiting to see if I need to do anything about these errors first

Code:

  27:php                    warning: /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf saved as /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf.rpmsave

########################################### [ 73%]

########################################### [ 98%]
W: Some errors occurred while running transaction
[root@median root]#

 

Exactly which command gave you these errors?

 

First I ran

Code:

apt-get update

Which produced the following out:

W: Some errors occurred while running transaction

>>>> and that is as far as I have gone so far

 

I'd try to ignore these warnings, most of them merely say that a backup of some old configuration file has been made. I don't know if this sendmail error is important.
Please go on with the Postfix/saslauthd configuration and see if it works then.

 

Finished the configuration which threw up an error about not being able to stop sendmail, but then it had already been stopped by the last attempt.

Then I'd strongly recommend to reinstall the system following this tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_fedora_core_3

 

Ok Falko.

Thanks very much for all your help
