Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: libsasl2
If I set the MECHANISMS in /etc/defaults/saslauthd to "pam rimap", when
saslauthd is started by the init.d script, it loads only pam. However,
If I just have 1 auth_mech, then that one seems to work OK.
I redirected the output of saslauthd to /var/log/sasl.log and added the
-V option. Snippet 1 below shows a single auth_mech working. Snippet 2
shows the second one (rimap) seems to get forgotten.
I hope I haven't made a silly mistake and wasted any-ones time.
