I think the reason was that setting this globally will prevent individual users from taking advantage of the full function of programs. For instance, (IIRC) if the user wants to auto-select the mechanism, having SASL_MECH set globally will disallow this. That is, ldap.conf options are suppose to be default mechanism, not system-wide policy mechanism. >It seems to me that this >is very useful to set in a system-wide configuration file >(ditto with the realm perhaps). >-- Luke > >--
