Strange issue with saslauthd

[Brian Taber]

I have a really strange issue when starting saslauthd.  If it is started
at boot time or manually via rc.d, it does not recognize the -r switch
(the usernames are email addresses, so I need the username and realm
together).  If I start it from the command line with the same exact
command, it works fine.  I have tried everything and don't understand why.
 Any help would be appreciated.
