More than one person here has given up on making SASL work with Kerberos V. We are seriously considering using the PAM SASL module with Kerberos support, though this adds additional complexity. Until we can straighten this out, we'll be running 1.5.19. Well, of course, 1.5.19 doesn't support Kerberos V at all. There are so many different authentication schemes out there and they'll all interact differently and it's really challenging to write portable software that compiles for everyone. We do want to make it easier but we get precious few patches in this area and we just don't have that many different systems here. Larry
