Is sendmail compiled against saslv2?
try
mail# sendmail -bt -d0.1
Version 8.x.y
Compiled with: DNSMAP IPV6_FULL LOG MAP_REGEX MATCHGECOS MILTER
MIME7TO8 MIME8TO7 NAMED_BIND NETINET NETINET6 NETUNIX
NEWDB NIS
PIPELINING SASLv2 SCANF SOCKETMAP STARTTLS TLS_EC
TLS_VRFY_PER_CTX USERDB XDEBUG
You should see SASLv2 in the list. It's sendmail's job to read
Sendmail.conf and it has to be in the sasl2 lib directory. On my host
that translates to:
/usr/local/lib/sasl2/Sendmail.conf

Thanks, I will try some of those -- neither in my system (gentoo) nor
in my other systems do I have a saslauthd.conf anywhere (except under
logwatch).. I will see if I can find where sendmail reads
Sendmail.conf.
Thanks.

Thanks for your response, but no joy -- I get the same output from
saslauthd -v and sendmail still thinks it has no mechanisms.
I can only speak to the cyrus-sasl side of things (we use Postfix
not Sendmail here),
but this smells like there's another config file that you're not
editing because you don't know it exists.
Maybe your sendmail is running chrooted? If so, the socket that
saslauthd is listening on
might not be visible to sendmail, or at least not be at the path
you think it is. On Debian,
saslauthd listens in two locations, one for chrooted postfix and
one for non-chrooted cyrus.
Maybe some exploratory breaking of things will help. Introduce a
deliberate typo into a config
file to be sure that something is reading it. Run saslauthd under
strace or equivalent and see
what files it is asking the OS to read. Stop saslauthd entirely
and see if sendmail's behaviour
changes.
Also: saslauthd (auth server) doesn't itself read sendmail.conf;
that looks like it's something
that the libsasl (auth client) library is doing under
Sendmail. Make sure that you look at
saslauthd's config file (/etc/saslauthd.conf) too.
