Bug#525785: sasl2-bin: saslauthd with kerberos5 doesn't work

[Friedemann Stoyan]

Package: sasl2-bin
Version: 2.1.22.dfsg1-23
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainers,

when using saslauthd with kerberos5 authentication mechanism it simply fails with:
"saslauthd[10678]: do_auth: auth failure: [user=xxx] [service=ldap] [realm=xxxxxxxxxxxxx] [mech=kerberos5] [reason=saslauthd internal error]"

Fix:
Explicitly set the environment in "/etc/default/saslauthd" and point to the keytab:
KRB5_KTNAME=/etc/krb5.keytab

Please include this environment in default configuration.

Regards
Friedemann
