sendmail sasl problem

[Paul Macdonald]

Hi,

I'm having a strange problem after a recent saslauthd upgrade..

I can no longer authenticate to the smtp server,

with saslauthd in debug mode i can see the authentication ( via 
getpwent)  as succeeding

saslauthd[54468] :rel_accept_lock : released accept lock
saslauthd[54468] :do_auth         : auth success: [user=smtpauth] 
[service=smtp] [realm=] [mech=getpwent]
saslauthd[54468] :do_request      : response: OK

however sendmail still gives me a relaying denied

i've tried this with various other system users with the same result, 
saslauthd says ok, sendmail says no!

rc.conf
#SASLAUTHD
saslauthd_enable="YES"
#note debug mode for sasl runs the daemon in foreground
#saslauthd_flags="-a getpwent -d"
saslauthd_flags="-a getpwent"


there's nothing in the access maps to reject this host, and adding 
myself to the access map fixes it for me ( but obv not anyone else)

The same upgrade to sasl went smoothly on 2 other boxes with fairly 
identical setups, and both sasl and sendmail have been reinstalled with 
same effect.


Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Paul.
