Bugzilla Bug 39447

The 2.1.17 build is still insisting on adding the -T and -H options to
/etc/conf.d/saslauthd, although thos been now is reported as invalid by sasl.

Also,

on emerge those entries are triggered in /var/log/auth.log by the ebuild:
Jan 26 13:40:33 merc saslpasswd2: setpass succeeded for login
Jan 26 13:40:33 merc saslpasswd2: Couldn't delete entry in
/var/tmp/portage/cyrus-sasl-2.1.17/image//etc/sasl2/sasldb2: gdbm_errno=15
Jan 26 13:40:33 merc saslpasswd2: Couldn't delete entry in
/var/tmp/portage/cyrus-sasl-2.1.17/image//etc/sasl2/sasldb2: gdbm_errno=15
Jan 26 13:40:33 merc saslpasswd2: Couldn't delete entry in
/var/tmp/portage/cyrus-sasl-2.1.17/image//etc/sasl2/sasldb2: gdbm_errno=15
Jan 26 13:40:33 merc saslpasswd2: setpass succeeded for login
Jan 26 13:40:33 merc saslpasswd2: Couldn't delete entry in
/var/tmp/portage/cyrus-sasl-2.1.17/image//etc/sasl2/sasldb2: gdbm_errno=15
Jan 26 13:40:33 merc saslpasswd2: Couldn't delete entry in
/var/tmp/portage/cyrus-sasl-2.1.17/image//etc/sasl2/sasldb2: gdbm_errno=15

/var/tmp/portage/cyrus-sasl-2.1.17/image//etc/sasl2/sasldb2: gdbm_errno=15

Which possibly have to do with this WARNING in the ebuild:
********************************************************
* WARNING:
* Plugins are being installed into
/var/tmp/portage/cyrus-sasl-2.1.17/image//usr/lib/sasl2,
* but the library will look for them in /usr/lib/sasl2.
* You need to make sure that the plugins will eventually
* be in /usr/lib/sasl2 -- the easiest way is to make a
* symbolic link from /usr/lib/sasl2 to
/var/tmp/portage/cyrus-sasl-2.1.17/image//usr/lib/sasl2,
* but this may not be appropriate for your site, so this
* installation procedure won't do it for you.
*
* If you don't want to do this for some reason, you can
* set the location where the library will look for plugins
* by setting the environment variable SASL_PATH to the path
* the library should use.
********************************************************

Which is quite miss guiding as the path refered to are gone as portage cleans
it out on finalizing.

Fixed in 2.1.17 (much more flexible /etc/conf.d/saslauthd conf file). Also, you
can ignore those warnings during emerge.  However, if they persist during
regular operations, open another bug.  Thanks.
