And one of these methods can be saslauthd?

Well - that would have been my next question...
*Searching around a few minutes*
What I found in /usr/share/doc/libsasl2 (I'm running Debian Sarge
here):
The default configuration file
By default, the Cyrus SASL library reads it's options from
/usr/lib/sasl2/App.conf (where "App" is the application defined name
of the application). For instance, Sendmail reads it's configuration
from "/usr/lib/sasl2/Sendmail.conf" and the sample server application
included with the library looks in "/usr/lib/sasl2/sample.conf".
A standard Cyrus SASL configuration file looks like:
srvtab: /var/app/srvtab
pwcheck_method: saslauthd
So am I right, when I state that the "sasl query" you mentioned above
can also end in a "saslauthd query"?

Christian Schmidt
