I'm trying to get sendmail auth to work on Fedora Core 1. I've followed instructions from over a dozen different sites and everything seems to be set up properly (I get LOGIN and PLAIN listed as available when I send EHLO) but I get an Authentication Failed error ever time I try to send.

here is my Sendmail.mc file: […]

here is my Sendmail.conf (/usr/lib/sasl2/Sendmail.conf) file:

[...]

I've tried pam, shadow, and passwd as well.

It seems that it has to be some problem with how it is checking the password, but I can't figure out what the problem is. Anybody have any ideas?

I found an artivle on sendmail.org that suggested there was a problem with login/plain using Sendmail 8.12.4+ and Cycrus-SASL-2.1.13-17 that required a patch to login.c to fix. anyone know more details about this and how exactly to apply the fix?
