Handbook chapter 22 section 10

Hi,

I've been going through the handbooks discussion on SMTP authentication 
and found that the document could use a little updating.  The 
instructions result in an error where sendmail wont read a database file 
in /usr/local/etc if the permissions are set for group or world read, 
and doesn't have permission to read if set for user read only.

Might I suggest using the cyrus-sasl2-saslauthd port rather than the 
cyrus-sasl port.  Here is a link to a set of instructions that worked 
smoothly for my 4.10 machine
