Other than sasldb (where you generate your password using saslpasswd
username), don't you have to tell cyrus-sasl what to use during compiling
time? Can you compile cyrus-imap to do passwd, shadow, pam, and sasldb.
Or you only only use one?
I understand about sasldb and kerberos and ldap. But what is the
difference between passwd, shadow, and PAM? This is what I am assuming
1. passwd will be /etc/password, just plaintext transfer of hash password
2. shadow will be /etc/shadow, much like passwd but using the shadow file
Am I even close?
