openssl bug ?

Hello,

Several hours ago I started seeing in the auth.log the errors listed below. I haven't performed any configuration updates or changes in 2-3 weeks. I've been searching on the linode forum and web for a means to resolve but unfortunately nothing has worked.

Tried so far…

I've run general update/upgrade to ensure I have the latest. (Ubuntu 10.04, basic LAMP)

I checked for openssl updates. I'm current.

I tried removing the problem crypto file and creating a link to a fresh file. I then restarted apache.

I reinstalled openssl and restarted apache

I'd appreciate suggestions or directions anyone could provide on how to resolve.

auth.log errors….

saslauthd[2750]: do_auth : auth failure: [user=user@exampledomain.com] [service=smtp] [realm=exampledomain.com] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error]

postfix/smtpd[2976]: sql auxprop plugin using mysql engine

saslauthd[2752]: PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/pam_mysql.so

saslauthd[2752]: DEBUG: authpam: pamauthenticate failed: Module is unknown

Thank you

Restart saslauthd

Edit: The libraries under saslauthd changed with an update. The update really should have restarted saslauthd but it looks like it didn't.

Edit2: Type 'service saslauthd restart' ( You knew that right? )

Hello sednet,

Yes, Thank you so much that worked! I was sure this was openssl related and spent hours researching the wrong path.

Have a great weekend

Elena
