Bug#560748: cyrus-sasl2: don't need to call /etc/init.d/saslauthd on shutdown/reboot?

[Steve Langasek]

Package: cyrus-sasl2
Version: 2.1.23.dfsg1-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi folks,

At http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/01/msg00007.html ff., it's
discussed that the vast majority of services on the system don't require
explicit 'stop' calls on shutdown or reboot, because the sendsigs "kill all
processes" handling is sufficient.

I believe saslauthd, as a "read-only" daemon with no declared
interdependencies on other services, is definitely one that qualifies to
have its stop links dropped from runlevel [06].  Please find attached a
patch that implements this, based on a change present in the Ubuntu version
of the package.

Description from the changelog:

    - Remove stop links from rc0 and rc6
    - stop service only when switching to single user mode

Cheers,
