Perhaps because the Cyrus-SASL help info is misleading? As is well pointed out by the text in the BLFS book, this dir is used for run-time data, if I remember correctly, this is where the PID file is created. Please, fire up the saslauthd daemon, and if the PID is not created in /var/run, and other files are created there instead, let me know and I will fix the book. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 20:01:01 up 108 days, 19:34, 2 users, load average: 0.07, 0.03, 0.01 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
