Bug#558014: sasl2-bin: doesn't return from /etc/init.d/saslauthd start -> postinst script hangs

[Michael Neuffer]

I'm currently running into the same problem.

And no I have only PAM enabled on this machine.

MECHANISMS="pam"

The difference I have is that I enabled debugging output

OPTIONS="-d -c -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd"

due to debugging the recent postfix_2.10.0-1 FUBAR
which prevented mail relaying (including sending mail from a MUAs like
Thunderbird)
and wich could only be fixed by dropping back to postfix_2.9.6-2

+ for script in '$scripts'
+ /etc/rc2.d/S16saslauthd start

Disable debugging and all is well:

OPTIONS="-c -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd"

Cheers
