cyrus-sasl should provide /etc/(sasl2/)saslauthd.conf. postfix provides a basic /etc/sasl2/smtpd.conf that integrates postfix with cyrus-sasl. /etc/saslauthd.conf is a required configuration file if you choose MECH=ldap in /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd. Some package should provide /ets/saslauthd.conf as it is in essential configuration file for cyrus-sasl/openldap integration. If cyrus-sasl doesn't provide saslauthd.conf openldap-servers is the most likely alternative to do so.
cyrus-sasl upstream doesn't provide saslauthd.conf file. Default package configuration uses pam mechanismus. In adition, there is /usr/share/doc/cyrus-sasl-2.1.23/LDAP_SASLAUTHD file with instruction how to use auth_ldap module.
All the patches RHEL uses aren't provided by any of the upstream distributors. Upstream not providing the file is not a valid argument. So instead of providing this file and tagging it %config you'd rather have this file orphaned and not belonging to the package cyrus-sasl? So much for clarity and straight forwardness. And yes, I am aware of LDAP_SASLAUTHD. The point of the request for inclusion is that it makes things more obvious. If people have to figure out every detail of their system what's the point of a distribution in the first place? Adding this configuration file with an example setup and the comment that it only needs to be configured when using MECH=ldap saves users a bit of time having to figure out how to setup their system. Please reconsider.
