Even more info about SASL
Well, well, well...it seems all this work this week
has fried my brain a bit.
I read over
all the docs I could fine about SASL again. SASL doesn't actually support any
other mechanisms over PAM than the "plaintext" machanisms, PLAIN and LOGIN. If
you want to use the more secure MD5 algorithm, you are required to use the
sasldb pwcheck_method. Hmm. Oh, and apparently, the "pam" argument doesn't work
anymore for "pwcheck_method", because PAM support has been changed in SASL so it
goes through the saslauthd daemon
only.
So, I guess I'm not entirely
crazy...just a little disappointed.
