I have postfix smtp-auth working using pwckeck_method: pam in /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf. However, I had to make postfix smtp not run chrooted in /etc/postfix/master.cf.
If I try leaving smtp chrooted then it fails trying to open the /etc/pam.d/smtp file. In order to get smtp to run chrooted I will need to copy this file plus some pam library files. Then even if I copy all this, I will be in trouble if these are later updated on my system but not copied again to the chroot. Is it worth trying to make postfix run chrooted when I need to enable smtp-authentication via pam? If I track down all the files needed in the chroot, then what simple ways are there to keep them consistent with the rest of the system as I upgrade in the future? Will I always have to check manually? I love apt-get and use it along with security.debian.org to keep my system up to date. For me, it is probably a bigger security threat to make system upgrades more difficult than to run postfix smtp un-chrooted. So basically, is it possible to get postfix to run chrooted and provide smtp-auth via pam and keep system maintenance easy? Regards.
