saslauthd, Realms, Cyrus-Imap and LDAP

[Edward Rudd]

Huh, this is odd. as in my tests and live usage of cyrus IMAPd
2.1.14/2.1.15. I am using realms with plain,crammd5, and digestmd5
authentication.. the user logs in as user at realm...    and the
information gets passed to the ldap server perfectly find and split on
the '@'..  Though I am not using the saslauthd anymore, I am using the
ldapdb auxprop backend that is in the openldap 2.1.x contrib directory.
