I have a weird problem on postfix trying to authenticate user/pass saslauthd
relevant lines in mail.log
Feb 14 16:06:21 smswtc postfix/smtpd[3577]: warning: SASL authentication failure: Requested identity not authenticated identity
Feb 14 16:06:21 smswtc postfix/smtpd[3577]: warning: unknown[192.168.10.134]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed: authentication failure
strange thing is (from the strace of the smtpd process of postfix):
read(10, "AUTH PLAIN fXOlcM5hbWLAc21wcABmaVFh\r\n", 4096) = 37
socket(PF_LOCAL, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = 12
connect(12, {sa_family=AF_LOCAL, sun_path="/var/run/saslauthd/mux"}, 110) >= 0
**writev(12, [{"\0\4user\0\4password\0\4smtp\0\6realm", 26}], 1) = 26
read(12, "\0\2", 2) = 2
read(12, "OK", 2) = 2**
close(12) = 0
sendto(8, "<20>Feb 14 16:04:58 postfix/smtpd[3395]: warning: SASL authentication failure: Requested identity not authenticated identity", 124, MSG_NOSIGNAL, NULL, 0) = 124
sendto(8, "<20>Feb 14 16:04:58 postfix/smtpd[3395]: warning: unknown[192.168.10.134]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed: authentication failure", 131, MSG_NOSIGNAL, NULL, 0) = 131
It really seems that saslauthd answered back OK to postfix !
Also from the saslauthd log (debug)
saslauthd[3169] :do_auth : auth success: [user=user] [service=smtp] realm="realm"] [mech=shadow]
saslauthd[3169] :do_request : response: OK
it is also clear that saslauthd autheticated the user. So I don't really understand why postfix complains about SASL Authetication failure (see above postifix mail.log)
