Hi-jacking the localhost string seems wrong, but it might be accepted/well-known behavior at this point. And possibly buried in the MySQL library [and not in SASL; in fact, I'd wager that is true. Shortcuts and general funny-business is pretty much MySQL's primary prerogative]. ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/ To Unsubscribe: https://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/mailman/listinfo/info-cyrus
