Ya, I could do that. Would there be a gain for me to compile the latest from source and using the ldap mech as opposed to the "-n0" flag suggestion that was made?
-n0 is very taxing on the OS specially if you have a lot of users. saslauthd/ldap does not leak (so you do not have restart saslauthd every so often) and it is much faster than pam/ldap.
