on reboot problems with authdaemond saslauthd and pop2,imap

sulee · 11-17-2005, 01:49 AM

Hi,

I'm runnung a webserver with Slackware 10.1 hosting virtual domains.
I use Postfix and Courier-Imap to handle the mail. Both running smoth.
I have cyrus-sasl and TLS support compiled in, and use mysql as backend.

In daily operation, everything works out well.

I have the according rc.* files in /etc/rc.d/ and chmoded 755.
they are rc.authdaemond, rc.saslauthd, rc.imapd and rc.pop3d.

However, if the machine reboots, imapd and pop3d don't run.

if I -after reboot- manually do

/etc/rc.d/rc.authdaemond start
Starting Courier authdaemond: /usr/sbin/authdaemond start
/etc/rc.d/rc.imapd start
/etc/rc.d/rc.pop3d start

everything's working out fine. (...until the next reboot)

It looks to me like the scripts load in the wrong order (?)

Any suggestins or hints to solve this would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance! and... enjoy your day!

is your network card compiled into the kernel or does it use a module loaded at boot?

Can't really tell - to be honest. I use a standard slackware package for most parts

OH! in /etc/rc.d/rc.local exists this:
/sbin/ifconfig eth0:0 62.141.57.37 netmask 255.255.255.192 broadcast 62.141.56.63 mtu 1500 up

is that answering your question?

You do realize that any rc scripts that you add to /etc/rc,d/ are not started automatically at boot time? Slackware only knows about the scripts it installed by itself.

You'd have to add lines like these to rc.local:

Code:

if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.authdaemond ]; then
  /etc/rc.d/rc.authdaemond start
fi

if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.imapd ]; then
  /etc/rc.d/rc.imapd start
fi

if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.pop3d ]; then
  /etc/rc.d/rc.pop3d start
fi

(off-topic)

what method of authentication are you using? Are you using Pam? I have searched a lot and found that PAM dont work in slackware (if you dont install a lot of depencies) what did you do?

The comment of ALIEN BOB solved the problem.
No, I don't use pam.

ENJOY!

what method are you using?

I thought imapd and popd were started by inetd not with rc.* scripts

he is using Postfix and Courier-Imap instead of sendmail
