I have a feeling that if I told our security folks that in order to 
use SASLv2 with the sasldb, we would have a file with everyone's 
password in plaintext where they can be EASILY (and perhaps 
accidently) read by a priv'd user, the security folks would have a 
cow.

Is there any chance you could add an option (or hook) to disguise the 
passwords in the sasldb database?  I realize this wouldn't protect 
against the case where the file fell into the wrong hands, but there 
may be other cases where it might prevent the passwords from popping 
up accidently.
