System: NetBSD nezu.sarna.org 6.0_RC2 NetBSD 6.0_RC2 (PANIX-VC) #1: Tue Sep 25 15:59:24 EDT 2012 root@juggler.panix.com:/misc/obj/misc/devel/netbsd/6-branch/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/PANIX-VC amd64
Architecture: x86_64
Machine: amd64
>Description:
	NetBSD ships with libsaslc now, but no configuration files.
	etc.tgz contains:

		./etc/saslc.d
		./etc/saslc.d/postfix
		./etc/saslc.d/postfix/mech
		./etc/saslc.d/saslc
		./etc/saslc.d/saslc/mech

	But no files. postinstall likely needs to have support for
	installing them as well.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Wonder why postfix is complaining about a lack of configured
	mechanisms. "apropos sasl" and find nothing relevant. Eventually
	find "apropos saslc" works and man libsaslc. Note that there is
	docuemntation there on the config files (no section 5 pages?),
	and that they are missing.  Check etc.tgz and see it conttains
	only directories.  Check the sources and see there are some
	config files in crypto/external/bsd/libsaslc/etc (but none for
	postfix?)

>Fix:
	Edit set files, maybe? I don't remember how that all works.

	Determine if there should be default files for postfix.

	Update postinstall to deal with the files.

 Ah, the files get installed under /usr/share/examples. But, nothing in =
 the documentation mentions this, and the documentation is hard to find =
 anyway. I think a typical user who is not inclined to start digging =
 around in the sources will never figure out how to set this up. Please =
 recategorize as a doc bug.

 Wouldn't it be better to enhance the README, adding a pointer
 to /usr/share/examples/libsaslc, and then install that README
 in /etc/saslc.d/ ?
 And add a reference to the libsaslc (3) manpage too.
