cyrus-* library and daemons and cy2-* modules

[tlaronde%polynum.com@localhost]

I have been hit by this so this is perhaps worth mentioning.

When using sendmail(8) (it would be the case with postfix(8)) to relay
mail to a smart host, on port 587, with STARTTLS and AUTH, it is not
sufficient to add the support for compilation to sendmail and the
cyrus-sasl library (eponymous package), one has to add the modules for
the mechanisms: cy2-plain, cy2-login etc.

One unfortunate thing: the library is cyrus- prefixed, the modules are
cy2- prefixed. Grep'ing for "cyrus-*" yielded nothing so I had concluded
that cyrus-sasl library was providing all the methods/mechanisms for
pkgsrc and wondered why sendmail was repeating "no worthy mechs found"
(this is an SASL message BTW, retransmitted by sendmail calling the lib,
but not a sendmail message).

It would be worth mentionning in the DESCR at least and IMHO, it would
be better that all related packages have the same prefix.

My 2 cents.

Best,
