It didn't work in my testing for some reason.  I'm happy to try it out again,
but I was pretty sure it wasn't enough.  It may just be that it wasn't happy
to use the saslauthd, which is OK because I'm putting sync passwords in
/etc/sasldb2 now anyway.  The other thing is that sync may have been broken
due to other issues like binding to the wrong IP address on the machine
thanks to hostname lookups.  There were a few different weird things I had
to solve before I got sync working, and this patch appeared to solve one
of them.

Besides which, I didn't understand SASL much when I wrote that, and it works.

Actually, I still don't understand SASL much. It appears to take an already
difficult problem and abstract it away so much that its becomes even more
complex (and yet you still can't pass an error message back from the authd
explaining why the user isn't allowed to log in right now)
