Hi ,

I Installed cyrus-sasl and postfix but when I run saslfinger -s smtpd links to the differernt locations of sasl libs.

smtpd is linked to --
libsasl2.so.2 => /usr/lib64/libsasl2.so.2

and should be pointing to libsasl2.so.2 => /usr/local/lib/libsasl2.so.2

how can I change it ? I tried to recompile postfix many times

Then logs shows :

warning: SASL authentication failure: Couldn't find mech plain
mail2 postfix/smtpd[6042]: warning: localhost[127.0.0.1]: SASL plain authentication failed

Thanks

BR
