+# rc.saslauthd:  start/stop/restart saslauthd
+#
+# saslauthd is a daemon process that handles plaintext authentication
+# requests on behalf of the SASL library.  The CMU Cyrus SASL library
+# is a general purpose authentication library for sever and client
+# applications.  It is mostly used to authenticate to mail servers.
+#
+# saslauthd should be started from the system boot scripts when going
+# to multi-user mode. When running against a protected authentication
+# database (e.g. the shadow mechanism), it must be run as the superuser.
+#
