Bugzilla Bug 34272

This is the same as bug 23037, however upgrading cyrus-sasl did not provide a 
resolution. 
 
Starting saslauthd manually to use rimap authentication mechanism - 
saslauthd -a rimap -O 127.0.0.1 
I receive  
saslauthd[25300] :set_auth_mech   : failed to initilize mechanism rimap 
 
I have tried this using cyrus-sasl-2.1.13, 2.1.14 and 2.1.15. 
 
I have tried this on 4 different x86 machines and each gives the same error. 
 
This has nothing to do with /etc/conf.d/saslauthd, which is up to date. 
 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.saslauthd -a rimap -O 127.0.0.1 
 
2. 
3. 
Actual Results:  
saslauthd[19557] :set_auth_mech   : failed to initilize mechanism rimap 

Expected Results:  
Started SASL

This will be fixed the hard way in 2.1.17 momentarily. In the mean time, you
can fix this the easy way by setting the host to "127.0.0.1/imap2"  <-- notice
the protocol is imap2 (by default it uses imap which is not defined in
/etc/services on Gentoo.)  I added a quick sed fix to change the default.  But
if you don't want to rebuild the whole thing, then just stick the proper port
as part of the hostname in /etc/conf.d/saslauthd.
