How would i go about clearing out all the SASL config files, and reemerging it?

I tried deleted the /etc/sasl2/smtpd.conf

then i ran emerge -C cyrus-sasl; emerge cyrus-sasl

yet it didn't replace any config files...

I ran the saslpasswd2 -c <username> command to no avail... im still receiving the blasted password prompt.

I know that sasl uses sasldb2 by default, but i swear i changed that to pam.

OK, well i disabled the smtpd_tl_auth_only line.
And now whenever i try to connect via say outlook express on a client machine... I check the box that says, "my outgoing server requires authentication", and i do get the password prompt, however whichever login/password i try to use it gets rejected, over and over and over again...
any suggestions?

SASL doesn't use system authentication (such as PAM/LDAP) by default. It uses it's own password database (similar to the way samba works).

Make sure that you run:

saslpasswd2 -c <username>

to add the user (and their password) to the SASL authentication database.

 human mind invents categories and  tries  to  force  facts  into
 separated pigeon-holes."
