Summary:                    sasl: Specified keytab in sasl config file not used
Description: 
If you specify a kerberos keytab in a sasl config file then it doesn't get
used. The systems default one is used instead, /etc/krb5.keyab.

for example /opt/csw/lib/sasl2/Sendmail.conf contains the following:

pwcheck_method: saslauthd
keytab: /etc/smtp.keytab
mech_list: login plain gssapi

but trussing the process I see:

4296:   stat("/etc/opt/csw/krb5.conf", 0xFFBF8A20)      = 0
4296:   open("/etc/opt/csw/krb5.conf", O_RDONLY)        = 15
4296:   open("/dev/urandom", O_RDONLY)                  = 15
4296:   open("/etc/krb5.keytab", O_RDONLY)              = 15
