[csw-users] Blastwave SASL/Sendmail Shadow authentication?

[Anthony Cogan]

Ihsan,
Thanks, that did help!  In running it in debug mode, it was looking  
for the mech file in the /opt/csw/etc/ directory, not the /opt/csw/ 
lib/sasl2, once I updated the file in the /etc directory, it worked  
like a champ!
