Can the maintainer of the cyrus-sasl package please add the patch from http://frost.ath.cx/software/cyrus-sasl-patches/ to the cyrus-sasl ebuild? The only thing needed to be changed in the ebuild is to add the following to src_unpack: # Allow to authenticate crypt(3) hashed passwords from auxprop plugins epatch "${FILESDIR}/${PN}-2.1.19-checkpw.c+sql.c.patch" The patch can be downloaded at http://frost.ath.cx/software/cyrus-sasl-patches/dist/2.1.19/cyrus-sasl-2.1.19-checkpw.c+sql.c.patch The patch adds the following plugin configuration directive: password_format: [plaintext|crypt|crypt_trad] I have successfull tested the patch with 2.1.20 (just modified the 2.1.20 ebuild and made a new revision) on x86 (hardened and not hardened). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
