dovecot-auth: pam_smbpass(dovecot:auth): unrecognized option [missingok]

[Victor Pablos Ceruelo]

This line is repeated on logs:

May 24 09:04:41 lml dovecot-auth: pam_smbpass(dovecot:auth): unrecognized option [missingok]
May 24 18:26:43 lml dovecot-auth: pam_smbpass(dovecot:auth): unrecognized option [missingok]

But it seems to be all people have access to mail.

I am seeing this error message very often too, when using sudo. It seems to be caused by
the "missingok" parameter on the pam_smbpass line in /etc/pam.d/common-auth, which
prevents excessive error logging when pam_smbpass isn't installed, but in turn causes
the module to complain about this unknown parameter when it *is* installed.

The appropriate component for this bug is not dovecot, but libpam-smbpass doesn't exist
either.

Confirming according to comment and assigning to "pam", which is the source package of libpam-smbpass.

[Mathias Gug (mathiaz)]

Reassigning to the samba package, which is the source package for libpam-smbpass.

[Thierry Carrez (ttx)]

New pam config for libpam-smbpass no longer includes "missingok" so it should be OK now.
