chrooting Postfix+SASL+TLS

[Alex Melkomukov]

this is a follow up to my attempts to change the socket location.

I now get the following message:


Jul 23 10:54:22 xxx postfix/smtpd[3010]: warning: SASL authentication
failure: cannot connect to saslauthd server: Connection refused


this different from "No such file or directory", but still does not work.

I tried setting owner to 'cyrus' and group to 'mail', still no luck.  I
also tried 

chmod 0770 /var/spool/postfix/var/run

i read that somewhere, a how-to doc i believe.


Anyone else have any suggestions?  i am guessing it may be some type of
permissions issue at this point?

thanks,

am
