db4.6 should be fine for Cyrus SASL. There's an edge-case performance issue that may affect OpenLDAP (i.e., a database with hundreds of thousands of entries and extremely high performance requirements), but Cyrus SASL likely won't notice this. Apart from that issue (around db4.6's use of threads), db4.6 is faster than db4.2. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
