That is what I thought when reading docs/archived lists, but it doesn't 
appear that it is doing it. I read that the -r option leaves the 
realm/domain intact...but I am not starting saslauthd with -r...so I 
expect that it WOULD strip off the domain.
BUT, testsaslauthd fails auth and logfile shows PAM auth error.
Doesn't that mean that it is in fact not stripping of the domain?
