#
# saslauthd is a daemon process that handles plaintext authentication
# requests on behalf of the SASL library.  The CMU Cyrus SASL library
# is a general purpose authentication library for server and client
# applications.  It is mostly used to authenticate to mail servers.
#
# saslauthd should be started from the system boot scripts when going
# to multi-user mode. When running against a protected authentication
# database (e.g. the shadow mechanism), it must be run as the superuser.
#

saslauthd_start() {
  # If saslauthd is not running, start it:
  if [ ! -r /var/state/saslauthd/saslauthd.pid ]; then
    # Use PAM authentication with credential caching:
    echo "Starting SASL authentication daemon:  /usr/sbin/saslauthd -a pam -c"
    /usr/sbin/saslauthd -a pam -c
