I don't believe any are.  I don't even know why it is *trying* auxprop 
plugins.  I clearly selected LOGIN as the mechanism I want to use to 
authenticate.

./client -m LOGIN localhost

I did this, except changing the path to the one configured via the 
--with-configdir parameter: /opt/zimbra/conf/sasl2

Just for kicks, I also put a copy in 
/opt/zimbra/cyrus-sasl-2.1.25/lib/sasl2 (where the sasl binaries & 
libraries are installed).  However, the result is always the same:

root at zre-ubuntu10-64:/home/build/p4/main/ThirdParty/cyrus-sasl# 
/opt/zimbra/cyrus-sasl/sbin/pluginviewer -a
Installed and properly configured auxprop mechanisms are:
<none>

See notes above.


I would also note, that with cyrus-sasl 2.1.23, where things *work* just 
fine, I get the same result:

root at zqa-061:/opt/zimbra/cyrus-sasl-2.1.23.3z/sbin# ./pluginviewer -a
Installed auxprop mechanisms are:
(null)

It seems to me like the lack of auxprop mechanisms completely breaks 
Cyrus-SASL in 2.1.25, where as in 2.1.23, other plugins would continue to 
work.
