Cyrus looking in sasldb2 for authentication

[Jeff Wilde]

That is how I am running saslauthd -a shadow and it is authenticating against shadow, but the problem is that it still looks at sasldb2.

You must run saslauthd with "-a getpwent" or "-a shadow" to authenticate against /etc/passwd (and/or /etc/shadow).

You can also just "rm /usr/local/lib/sasl2/libotp*" to get rid of OTP support in SASL.
