What I left out is that the last time I checked was something like 10 years
ago, before everything was migrated to using Kerberos. :) (Come to think of
it, "cyrus-sasl" might be a hint about that; cyrus-sasl v1 has been dead
for a longish time, the current one is cyrus-sasl2. Although saslauthd is
itself a slightly more general version of the hack v1 used.)
