+Running in debug mode
+---------------------
+
+ To run saslauthd in debug mode, use the -d option. However, avoid putting
+ this option into /etc/defaults/saslauthd, because it will break your system!
+ The -d option turns saslauthd into a foreground process instead of a
+ background daemon, which means that the boot (init) sequence will stop when
+ saslauthd is started. You will probably end up with a system that is only
+ partly started, and you'll be unable to log in through ssh to fix it.
+
+ When you do need to debug SASL, please stop saslauthd through the normal
+ init script and then run it by hand in debug mode with the -d option and
+ all other options that you wish to test.
