Hi, Apologies if this should go to cyrus-sasl, please advise if so.

I've been reading/compiling cyrus-sasl-2.1.21 most of the afternoon. It's 
late now and things have stopped making sense. I'm really looking for 
guidance to arrive at the simplest configuration that will work with Cyrus 
IMAP cyrus-imapd-2.3.1. I am hoping to use TLS and authenticate the mail 
client user against the unix passwd/shadow file or standalone file or 
Berkeley db.

I am running Solaris 10 sparc and compiling in a zone. The zone shouldn't 
affect my results unless someone knows better. I have loopback mounted 
/usr/local so the zone can operate independently of the Global zone.

The following versions apply:

cyrus-sasl-2.1.21
gcc version 3.4.3 (csl-sol210-3_4-branch+sol_rpath)
Gnu Make 3.80
BerkeleyDB.4.4


I'm configuring as follows:

./configure \
--enable-anon \
--enable-plain \
--disable-cram \
--disable-digest \
--disable-login \
--disable-otp \
--disable-gssapi \
--without-krb4 \
--with-des=no \
--with-ipctype=doors \
--with-dblib=berkeley \
--with-bdb-libdir=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4/lib \
--with-bdb-incdir=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4/include \
--with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl \
--with-saslauthd=/var/run/saslauthd \
--with-plugindir=/usr/local/lib/sasl2


make will fail unless I use "--with-des=no". Reading has refined this 
topic but not resolved it my mind.

Any assistance would be appreciated.


John.
