[rfc3195] FW: Sasl

[Peter Hall]

I've got sasl working now.

I've attached my debug log so you can see what's going on.

I've not completed it yet, but it works as long as everything happens in an
expected order, and the authentication is a success. If not then it will
probably crash.
So I'm going to clean up the problems over the next week so it behaves
correctly including the error handling.

One of the problems I've found now is the server piece really needs a
configuration file which deviates from the problem I'm trying to solve.

I'm using the cyrus sasl library which was very easy to use. But getting it
installed and running was a pain. The documentation on cyrus is lacking in
some parts.
Also if you notice in my greeting from the server there are repeating
profile announcements. This is coming from cyrus. It's not caused a problem
but I wonder if other implementation would have an issue with it.
