Hi All

I have installed Cyrus SASL 2.1.22-4 on RHEL 5.3 from rpm but after I 
try to run sasl2-sample-server it seem that a server does not read 
configuration file from default path "/usr/lib/sasl2".
How should I fix this problem?

configuration file is /usr/lib/sasl2/testsasl.conf. Here is it's 
content(only one line):


pwcheck_method: saslauthd


for make sure that saslauthd can work correctly

output from saslauthd:
# saslauthd -a shadow -d
saslauthd[8822] :main            : num_procs  : 5
saslauthd[8822] :main            : mech_option: NULL

[service=imap] [realm=] [mech=shadow]
saslauthd[8823] :do_request      : response: OK

 
output from testsasl:

# testsaslauthd -u sampleuser -p password
0: OK "Success."
#


output from sasl2-sample-server:

# sasl2-sample-server -s testsasl -m PLAIN

After I execute sasl2-sample-client command .Output from saslauthd is 
still not change like it does not recieve any authentication request  
from sasl2-sample-server.As shown below.

 output from saslauthd:
