[Bug 875440] Re: Cannot authenticate with saslauthd and mysql

[Dario Nuevo]

The discussion here is getting cluttered and messy - we have many
different situations which may or may not work which makes it hard to
finally solve this one.

So far we have
- People which solve only with config changes
- People which get it to work which downgrading / maybe relinking
- People bringing up sasl -> slapd problems (not postfix related anymore)
- People complaining about this bug in general (like Comment #59 which is not helping at all)

The most important point is that it should be safe to upgrade an Ubuntu
Server. If you upgrade, such a delicate component as smtp auth should
not be broken. And I think it's only a configuration issue.

We have to find & verify valid configurations for people doing a fresh
install and an upgrade. Downgrading cannot be an option and should not
be necessary (at least not for postfix -> sasl). I think the approach in
comment #44 to verify it in a VM is the most promising one.

I'll try to port my physical server to a VM and upgrading it to Precise
during the next week, try to find a working config with the newest
packages and post it here. There has to be a way guys, we'll work this
out.. ;-)
