## 5. Cyrus SASL

## 5.1 Uncompress

Here we untar and gunzip the file in a single step.

1. `cd /temp`
2. `tar -zxvf cyrus-sasl-X.X.X.tar.gz`
3. `cd cyrus-sasl-X.X.X`

## 5.2 Building the files

For most purposes, the following set of instructions works fine. If you would like to examine the other configuration options, type `./configure --help | more`

1. `./configure`
2. `make`
3. `make install`

If you don't want your password check to be the default sasldb, you must specify which one of PAM, kerberos_v4, passwd, shadow you wish to use. If PAM is the authentication you desire for example, you would type:

`./configure --with-pwcheck_method=PAM`

instead of the ./configure line above
