I'm using saslauthd, but saslauthd -a shows the below options,
uthentication mechanisms: getpwent pam rimap shadow ldap

I'm assuming I don't want shadow, I haven't installed pam or openldap so
pam/ldap is out.  I tried getpwent, rimap and both did not work.  Is sasldb
the recommended and default backend authentication dbase?  I can't find it
or know how to access to use authentication.  (I tried all mechanisms and
none worked.)
