That's true, but I think for someone who knows that it's trivial to do. For someone that doesn't, it could cause confusion. You have to know to keep the copied version up to date.
This would also create a setup dependency where SASL2 would have to be installed and configured before Postfix, otherwise you have no sasldb2 to copy. Additionally (although I don't recall for sure) SASL isn't functional Postfix as installed. I think if you want to automate this one step, it doesn't make sense unless you go all the way to provide something that works securely out of the box (including TLS with plain or login). So, FWIW, I agree this isn't a dupe of 42911. It should probably be part of a larger wishlist item/spec to give a functioning/secure SASL setup with Postfix as a configuration item. -- chroot setup does not copy sasldb2 https://launchpad.net/bugs/55320 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
