Description

saslauthd is a daemon process that handles plaintext authentication requests on behalf of the SASL library.

The server fulfills two roles: it isolates all code requiring superuser privileges into a single process, and it can be used to provide proxy authentication services to clients that do not understand SASL based authentication.

In the other systems

The newest version among them is 2.1.28, as upstream numbers it.

5f9d389f29 Xin LI databases/lmdb0: Add port for LMDB 0.9.x legacy ABI
LMDB 1.0 introduced an incompatible on-disk format change and subtle API breakage: applications that compiled cleanly against 1.0 headers could fail silently at run time. Known affected ports include dns/knot3, mail/bogofilter, and mail/postfix; the postfix issue has been confirmed upstream. Linux distributions such as Arch Linux have observed the same breakage. Samba can also be affected in certain configurations. Because the regression is not detectable in an -exp build run -- the postfix failure only manifests at run time, and bogofilter was caught only because post-build self-tests happen to exercise this path -- we cannot rely on package builds to validate the 1.0 upgrade. This commit introduces databases/lmdb0 as a holding port for the 0.9.35 …
