Hi! I'm using saslauthd (cyrus-sasl2_2.1.25.dfsg1-6+deb7u1) with kerberos authentication in a debian wheezy (krb5_1.10.1+dfsg-5+deb7u1) and the deamon (actually one of the processes only) sometimes goes into infinite loop, ceasing to answer requests, apparently inside the kerberos library. This situation requires a saslauthd restart to resolve. I'm not sure this is a saslauthd bug, or a kerberos bug... but anyway, you can see the full details in the bug report I filled with debian, including stack traces, etc... http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=723144 Since from the end-user perspective this is a saslauthd issue, I thought I should report this to you and wait for your advice before reporting to another team, kerberos perhaps?
As a work around, you could try using saslauthd's pam backend with a krb5 pam module. -- Dan White
