I noticed that the HowTO says "sasl_passwd_check" while the man page and
official docs say "sasl_pwcheck_method" - I tried both with the same result...
NOTE: Authentication does seem to work (atleast the Howto says that's what the
following means):
C: L01 LOGIN test {13}
+ go ahead
C: <omitted>
but then fails a few seconds later with:
L01 NO Login failed: authentication failure
Authentication failed. generic failure
Security strength factor: 0

Yup, both users are valid linux and sasl users.

Don't seem to have that...

GRRR. The docs say it's sasl_pwcheck_method.... which one's correct?

I did this for 'test'... but adding the -c flag didn't change anything.

They're all in 'bonanza' which is the name of the host. there's 3 of each one,
one for each authentication mechanism.

imtest -a test -u test -r bonanza bonanza
imtest -a test -u test -r bonanza localhost
neither fully work. They both give the same as above... they seem to work,
then a few seconds later I get an error.
