Well, if sieve uses saslauthd -> pam to authenticate, there is no need for
having a sasldb file with cyrus user.
IIRC the problem is that sieveshell doesn't have the --auth parameter like
cyradm. The sieve server works, but not sieveshell.
Can someone confirm this or has someone already made a patch to fix
sieveshell?
