Setting up SMTP Auth

Hi Folks,

I have a freebsd 5.3 machine and I'm attempting to setup sendmail so that it
will do SMTP Auth.

I installed Cyrus-sasl from the FreeBSD ports. Before installing it, I
edited the makefile to include --enable-login as a configuration option. I
made sure /usr/local/lib/sasl/Sendmail.conf looks like so:

pwcheck_method: passwd

I edited /etc/make.conf and added the following lines:

SENDMAIL_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include/sasl1 -DSASL
SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib
SENDMAIL_LDADD=-lsasl

My ..cf/cf/sendmail.mc contains the following lines:
define(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A')dnl
TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', ` LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
define(`confDEF_AUTH_INFO', `/etc/mail/auth-info')dnl
dnl TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
dnl define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl

(I'm going for login plain as my auth mechanism).

I needed to upgrade Sendmail anyway. So I downloaded Sendmail 8.13.6 and
installed it in the normal way.

Somehow something isn't working. When I restart sendmail, it starts up and
runs OK but gives me the following warnings:

Warning: Option: AuthMechanisms requires SASL support (-DSASL)
Warning: Option: DefaultAuthInfo requires SASL support (-DSASL)
Warning: Option: AuthOptions requires SASL support (-DSASL)

If I telnet to port 25 and do a ehlo, I do not get AUTH LOGIN PLAIN in the
response:

250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
250-PIPELINING
250-8BITMIME
250-SIZE 5000000
250-DSN
250-ETRN
250-DELIVERBY
250 HELP

What have I overlooked? I've gone over and over this.

Thanks,

Lisa

For starters: You might consider ading mechs:

mech_list: login plain (it's needed with sasl2?)

This looks ok, but it seems that sasl support wasn't compiled.(?)
sasl or sasl2, shoud be added.

Do a "ldd /path/to/binary/sendmial" , see if it links to sasl libraries.
ldd works in linux :]

OK, that was interesting and I think it tells me something, I'm just not
sure what.

On the FreeBSD box where auth is NOT working:

ldd /usr/sbin/sendmail
/usr/sbin/sendmail:
libutil.so.4 => /lib/libutil.so.4 (0x280f9000)
libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x28105000)

On this box, my sasl libraries are in /usr/local/lib

On a Redhat box I have where auth IS working:

ldd /usr/sbin/sendmail
libsasl.so.7 => /usr/lib/libsasl.so.7 (0x4001d000)
libdb-3.2.so => /lib/libdb-3.2.so (0x40028000)
libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0x400cf000)
libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x400e1000)
libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x4010e000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40124000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0x40128000)
libpam.so.0 => /lib/libpam.so.0 (0x40264000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

Like I said, I'm not sure what this is telling me. Do I need to recompile
cyrus-sasl on the FreeBSD and tell it to put it's libraries elsewhere
(/lib?) or do I need to recompile sendmail and tell it to look for libraries
elsewhere (/usr/local/lib?)?

Obviously Sendmail wasn't compiled to look into /usr/local/lib.

Recompile sendmail (tweak siteconfig.m4 to add support for libcrypt and
libsasl). Make sure you compile with -DSASL ;]
I have no experience compiling on FreeBSD but I guess there should be no
problems.

/usr/sbin/sendmail is a small utility that spawn the real mailer based
on a configuration file. That way a system update or rebuild does not
affect postfix, qmail or exim installations.

See mailwrapper(8). I beleive the 3 main BSD use it.

The real sendmail binary should be elsewhere, the OP should look at
/etc/mailer.conf. (probably /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail)

"sendmail -bt -d0.1" will give you the option sendmail was compiled with
too.

I can't help much more the OP cause I never done SASL on FreeBSD.

Hi again,

I don't know what's causing my troubles here, but this is driving me nuts. I
modified ../devtools/Site/site.config.m4 to look like this:

dnl cyrus-sasl for smtp auth
APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_ENVDEF', `-DSASL')
APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_LIBS', `-lsasl')
dnl APPENDDEF(`confLIBDIRS', `-L/usr/local/lib/sasl')
dnl APPENDDEF(`confINCDIRS', `-I/usr/local/include')

Then I rebuilt sendmail using the -c option to Build so it would pull in the
modified site.config.m4 file (and it did, I saw that happen), but the Build
stopped with errors. I then modified site.config.m4 again as so:

dnl cyrus-sasl for smtp auth
APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_ENVDEF', `-DSASL')
APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_LIBS', `-lsasl')

and rebuilt sendmail with the -c option but again the build failed. The
Build goes along OK until it errors out. The errors are this:

Did you install cyrus-sasl from ports or are you using the FreeBSD system
libs?

The SASL header files can't be found. In site.config.m4 tell the build
process where to find the libs and includes.
Any special reason why you want to compile against the old SASL v1?

I thought that was what I was putting

SENDMAIL_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include/sasl1 -DSASL
SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib
SENDMAIL_LDADD=-lsasl
in /etc/make.conf and

APPENDDEF(`confLIBDIRS', `-L/usr/local/lib/sasl')

APPENDDEF(`confINCDIRS', `-I/usr/local/include/sasl1')

in site.config.m4

Won't that tell sendmail where to pull in the libraries from?

> Any special reason why you want to compile against the old SASL v1?

The only reason, really is that I'm using SASL v1 on the red hat box where
SMTP Auth works.

Hi,

I'm making progress here, but I'm not there yet. When I rebuild sendmail
now, it finds the sasl.c and sasl.h that it was complaining about earlier. I
did this by changing
APPENDDEF(`confINCDIRS', `-I/usr/local/include') to


APPENDDEF(`confINCDIRS', `-I/usr/local/include/sasl1')

in site.config.m4 (the sasl1 subdirectory is where sasl.h is).

Now when I rebuild sendmail, I'm getting one error:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsasl
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src/sendmail-8.13.6/obj.FreeBSD.5.3-RELEASE.i386/sendmail.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src/sendmail-8.13.6.

As a reminder, my site.config.m4 looks like this:

dnl cyrus-sasl for smtp auth
APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_ENVDEF', `-DSASL')
APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_LIBS', `-lsasl')

APPENDDEF(`confLIBDIRS', `-L/usr/local/lib/sasl')
APPENDDEF(`confINCDIRS', `-I/usr/local/include/sasl1')

dnl map REGEX
APPENDDEF(`confMAPDEF', `-DMAP_REGEX')


and /etc/make.conf looks like this:

# -- use.perl generated deltas -- #
# Created: Thu Oct 27 10:25:32 2005
# Setting to use base perl from ports:

Ok, so the path is definitely in /usr/local.

That first line is wrong IMHO. You shouldn't append the "sasl1".

For use with SASLv2:

# SASL (cyrus-sasl v2) sendmail build flags...
SENDMAIL_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include -DSASL=2
SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib
SENDMAIL_LDADD=-lsasl2

But in your previous posting you showed

dnl APPENDDEF(`confLIBDIRS', `-L/usr/local/lib/sasl')
dnl APPENDDEF(`confINCDIRS', `-I/usr/local/include')

-> commented settings. Anyway, you don't need that when setting compile
switches by make.conf. At least if you are neither bypassing the FreeBSD
sys nor ports.

But that RHL 7.2 is dead since years and smells like dead fish. I
encourage you to use SASLv2; from ports "security/cyrus-sasl2".

See my post just under this one. I appended the "sasl1" and the sendmail
build found sasl.c and sasl.h

If I don't append this, I get bunches of errors re sasl.c and sasl.h not
being found. If I do append this, I don't get that, I just get the one error
regarding lsasl If I could get past this one error, I think I'll have it
licked.

According to /usr/ports/security/cyrus-sasl/pkg-plist it should install
libsasl.so* and libsasl.a into /usr/local/lib on a standard port
build/install, i.e. try

APPENDDEF(`confLIBDIRS', `-L/usr/local/lib')

instead (there are no libsasl.* files in /usr/local/lib/sasl, right?).

Did you read my posting in the previous thread you started on this
issue? (It's at
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.mail.sendmail/msg/7277d27e0631bc26
.) I listed 4 different methods to build a SASL-enabled sendmail on
FreeBSD, you seem to mixing up 1) and 2). Those settings in
/etc/make.conf are for building sendmail from the FreeBSD base system
sources (/usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail -> /usr/src/contrib/sendmail), they
have no relevance when building from a tarball downloaded straight from
sendmail.org.
