Sample /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd for running as non-privileged user none

Description Pekka Pietikäinen 2006-03-16 12:58:23 UTC 
saslauthd can run without root as long as you aren't running against PAM.

Would it be possible to:

1) get a saslauth user created by default 
2) make /var/run/saslauthd owned by sasldauth.saslauth 
3) Add the diff attached to this report to the initscript
4) make the default /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd like the one attached.

Thanks :)
