I had a hard time getting the latest JabberD2 (2.1.20) to
compile with
cyrus-sasl, and just fell back to using gsasl. We have no
need for
anything more than SASL-PLAIN auth since I enforce TLS/SSL
encryption
and use a pipe-auth script to compare MD5 hashes of the
passwords in the
database.
I'd be more than willing to share my pipe-auth if anyone is
interested.
