Unable to auth...

hehe, yup I have an older version of sasl installed.

But now the question is... Why don't I have sasl 2 files installed?

I have the cyrus-sasl-2.1.12.
I did the configure (below)
make
make install
(created symbolic like for the library).

But saslpasswd2 and sasldblistuse binaries are nowhere to be found.
