by As you should know, there’s an important bug on TLS libs on every linux OS.
So upgrade is mandatory.
There’s also another little update in mariadb if you’re using it instead of mysql.
The problem is there, but not the indicator.
The problem in my case comes from the smtp server, I got the error:
535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: authentication failure
While tring to send an email (only sending, receiving works fine).
Looking in mail.log:
Mar 6 10:49:06 ciberterminal postfix/smtpd[29949]: warning: SASL authentication failure: Password verification failed Mar 6 10:49:06 ciberterminal postfix/smtpd[29949]: warning: localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]: SASL authentication failed: authentication failure
Auth failed from SASL? WTF!
So i began debuging it:
/usr/sbin/saslauthd -a pam -c -m /var/spool/postfix/saslauthd -r -n 1 -d -VVVVVVVVVV
But it only shows:
do_auth: auth failure: [user=dodger@ciberterminal.net] [service=smtp] [realm=ciberterminal.net] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error]
Anything else.
Searching internet, I saw that post, I forgot to look for errors on auth.log!
Here it is:
Mar 7 10:48:41 ciberterminal saslauthd[4552]: PAM unable to dlopen(pam_mysql.so): /lib/security/pam_mysql.so: symbol make_scrambled_password, version libmysqlclient_18 not defined in file libmysqlclient.so.18 with link time reference Mar 7 10:48:41 ciberterminal saslauthd[4552]: PAM adding faulty module: pam_mysql.so Mar 7 10:48:41 ciberterminal saslauthd[4552]: DEBUG: auth_pam: pam_authenticate failed: Module is unknown Mar 7 10:48:41 ciberterminal saslauthd[4552]: do_auth : auth failure: [user=trian@ciberterminal.net] [service=smtp] [realm=ciberterminal.net] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error]
That is a good information! Looking over internet, I saw more people with the same error.
But still not sollution for the problem.
So i decided to rollback the f***ing version of libmariadbclient/libmysqlclient to the previous version.
The problem?
There are no packages on the repo (on ANY mariadb repo across the net!!!):
apt-cache showpkg libmariadbclient18
Shows only actual version and in the official repo the previous version has been also removed.
Now what?
What about local cache?
root@ciberterminal:/home/dodger/mariadbrollback# find /var/cache/apt/archives/ -name "*libmariadb*" /var/cache/apt/archives/libmariadbclient-dev_5.5.35+maria-1~wheezy_amd64.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/libmariadbclient18_5.5.35+maria-1~wheezy_amd64.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/libmariadbclient18_5.5.34+maria-1~wheezy_amd64.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/libmariadbclient18_5.5.32+maria-1~wheezy_amd64.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/libmariadbclient-dev_5.5.33+maria-1~wheezy_amd64.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/libmariadbclient18_5.5.36+maria-1~wheezy_amd64.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/libmariadbclient18_5.5.33+maria-1~wheezy_amd64.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/libmariadbclient-dev_5.5.34+maria-1~wheezy_amd64.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/libmariadbclient-dev_5.5.36+maria-1~wheezy_amd64.deb
So first, I save all the pkg’s:
mkdir mariadbrollback && cd mariadbrollback
find /var/cache/apt/archives/ -name "*mysql*" -exec cp {} . \;
find /var/cache/apt/archives/ -name "*maria*" -exec cp {} . \;
find /var/cache/apt/archives/ -name "*libsasl2*" -exec cp {} . \;
find /var/cache/apt/archives/ -name "*mailutils*" -exec cp {} . \;

Nothing work now xD
Don’t panic!

Why the “apt-get -f install”? I do it wrong with the installation steps, here is corrected, but if the installation fail, then the package will be “unconfigured” and you must execute the “apt-get -f” to correct it just after install all the deps.
With that steps, the problem should dissapear.
If your’re a purge-maniac, here you’ll find all the packages to solve the problem (at least in my case)
Usefull, thanks. Solved my problem.
Nice!
You’re welcome!
