Description of problem:
saslauthd is used by postfix and other mail software like cyrus-imapd for authencation. By default saslauthd starts at 95, while postfix starts at 80, and cyrus-imapd starts at 65. This creates a time window where postfix and cyrus-imapd have started, but saslauthd hasn't. So a user tries to authenicate, but fails because saslauthd isn't avaliable. In my case I also use mysql to store mail user authencation information. mysql starts at 64, and needs be to be running before saslauthd. So I have changed /etc/rc.d/init.d/saslauthd so that it starts at 64 instead of 95. Ideally we would want enough time delay bewteen mysql and saslauthd so that mysql has time to initialize. The same is true for saslauthd and cyrus-imapd.

Ideally if mysqld, postgresql, openldap, and anything else that might use be used by saslauthd could be kept before saslauthd, along with moving saslauthd before anything that might use it like postfix and cyrus-imapd.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cyrus-sasl-2.1.20-4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install saslauthd, mysqld, and postfix
2. chkconfig saslauthd on ; chkconfig mysqld on ; chkconfig postfix on
3. ls -al /etc/rc.d/rc3.d

Actual Results:  S64mysqld -> ../init.d/mysqld
S80postfix -> ../init.d/postfix
S95saslauthd -> ../init.d/saslauthd

Expected Results:  S64mysqld -> ../init.d/mysqld
S64saslauthd -> ../init.d/saslauthd
S80postfix -> ../init.d/postfix
