-The thing about [SASL] is that it sounds like a really really good idea. The bad thing about [SASL] is that it's a [PIA
]. My biggest beef with [SASL] is that by default it doesn't do anything sane (like use [PAM] or /etc/passwd), it tries to use /etc/sasldb (or /etc/sasldb2 depending on the version of sasl). Of course when you first start looking at [SASL] you won't have anything in this file, so you won't be able to authenticate. Sigh.

You'll need to make sure you have [SASL] modules installed, if you don't, [SASL] will just fail. Sigh. Under debian you'll need libsasl2-modules at least, perhaps also libsasl2-gssapi-mit, libsasl2-krb4-mit, libsasl2-modules-gssapi-heimdal, and/or libsasl2-modules-kerberos-heimdal, but probably not.
