Hi there,

Sorry to burden this list with such a basic question, but I've had a  
good go at trying to find an answer (this list might also be  
interested to learn that the web based interface to any of the  
archives isn't working either. :-P).

Anyhow, I'm using Mac OS X.4.10 on x86 and I've built cyrus- 
sasl-2.1.22. This is what I've done:

./configure
sudo make install
mv  /usr/lib/sasl2  /usr/lib/sasl2.apple
ln -s /usr/local/lib/sasl2 /usr/lib/sasl2
/usr/local/sbin/saslauthd -a pam

I then get the following returned:

saslauthd[29519] :set_auth_mech   : unknown authentication mechanism:  
pam

I'm sure that I've missed something in the above build, but I'm at an  
absolute loss to determine what. Can anybody help?

Thanks in advance for your time.

Kind regards,
Christopher
