Bugzilla Bug 81342

Some folks (read: many) have had trouble getting Cyrus SASL to properly
authenticate Windows clients using the NTLM mechanism (whereas things like
Evolution works fine). Andrew Bartlett from the Samba team published a patch to
make it work by passing the NTLM authentication over to Samba. There is also
support for the MS Kerberos method GSSSPNEGO - but this is untested.

The attached ebuild includes this patch for Cyrus SASL 2.1.20, activating the
code if the USE flag "samba" is set. (A dependency to net-fs/samba becomes
active if this flag is asserted).

Testing using Outlook 2000 on a Windows 2000 box inside a Samba PDC domain
connecting to Cyrus IMAP yield successful single sign on NTLM authentication.
Evolution also works when connecting to the same account on the same server.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Place the ebuild and patch into the portage overlay directory
(dev-libs/cyrus-sasl and dev-libs/cyrus-sasl/files)
2. ebuild /usr/local/portage/dev-libs/cyrus-sasl/cyrus-sasl-2.1.20-r3.ebuild
digest
3. emerge cyrus-sasl

Actual Results:  
Emerge proceeds as expected.

Expected Results:  
n/a
