SMTP auth and /etc/saslauthdb2

Mon Jan 12 05:51:54 UTC 2004

Hi all,

     On all servers running Fedora, whenever I use CRAM-MD5 to
authenticate, I fail because there's no /etc/saslauthdb2 file.  I'd rather
just use PAM to authenticate.  And, when I use PLAIN, I do.  I have to
create the smtp file in /etc/pam.d by copying smtp.postfix.  Does anyone
know what governs what authentication mechanism uses what underlying
method, saslauthdb2, pam, or shadow?  The saslauthd file in sysconfig is
at its default, pam.
          TIA.
