Hi,
I got the following configuration:

OS:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 4)

sendmail:
sendmail-8.13.1-3.RHEL4.5
sendmail-cf-8.13.1-3.RHEL4.5

sasl
cyrus-sasl-2.1.19-5.EL4
cyrus-sasl-md5-2.1.19-5.EL4

When I run 'ehlo localhost', I get this line of AUTH mechanisms:
....
250-AUTH DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5
....

/var/log/mailog shows this:
....
sendmail[5295]: AUTH: available mech=CRAM-MD5 ANONYMOUS DIGEST-MD5,
allowed mech=EXTERNAL GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN
....

I wonder if there is a way to enable PLAIN without recompiling
cyrus-sasl and sendmail.

Thank you,
Silviu

Hava e look at

TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5')dnl
define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5')dnl

in your .mc file and pass it to m4

cheers

Hi,
I forgot to add to problem description that the current sendmail config
(sendmail.mc/sendmail.cf)
is:

....
define(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A p')dnl
....
TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`EXTERNAL DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `EXTERNAL GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5
LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
....

I rebuilt sendmail.cf (m4 /etc/mail/sendmai.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf)
and
restarted sendmail (service sendmail restart), but
this config did not enable PLAIN authentication. Do you have any other
suggestion, please?

Thank you,
Silviu
