[PATCH][saslauthd] cyrus-sasl-2.1.10/saslauthd credential caching

[marc.bigler at day.com]

Hi Jeremy,

Just wanted to let you know that the default shared memory segment size on
Solaris 9 has been changed to 8 MB. If you want more on any versions of
Solaris you simply need to edit /etc/system.

Regards
Marc

Ok, I've set things up on a Solaris 8 machine for testing. After a few
tweaks,
things appear to be working ok. One thing though, it seems that the maximum

shared memory segment size on Solaris is 1M by default. Solaris users will
have to tweak their system settings if a larger cache is desired. Due to
this, I've set the default cache size to under 1M (down from ~4M). This way

saslauthd will always start with the cache enabled under default
circumstances.

I'll work on getting a diff against current cvs as well....

Thanks,
