Configuring sasl2-bin --------------------- Cyrus SASL has stored usernames and passwords in the /etc/sasldb2 database file. That file has to be upgraded to a newer database format. First, a backup of the current file will be created. You can use that if you need to manually downgrade Cyrus SASL. However, automatic downgrades are not supported. Please specify the backup file name. You should check the available disk space in that location. If the backup file already exists, it will be overwritten.
