Hi Patrick
I would do as you ask, but it's bad security to download anything from a
mailing list and just run it. Especially something as long and complex as
gen-auth, at which I can only have a quick and un-informed look.
Given that I don't know who you are, give me some more info. Who are you? How
can I authenticate you? What is the script you want me to run? In the light of
no definitive answer from cyrus-sasl, your answer is plausible only.
Understand I'm running sendmail and only just thinking about switching to
postfix. The server I'm configuring is running SELinux enforcing which has its
own foibles.
Will a test of CRAM-MD5 with the installed cyrus-sasl libraries tell you
anything? I'm pretty confident it will work! LOL
I am willing and happy to co-operate. How should I trust you?

Hi Charles.
Gen-Auth has nothing to do with the list and is a well known & highly
used script for generating SMTP auth credentials for use in smtp testing.
As far as P@trick is concerned, do not bite the hand that feeds you.
P@trick has helped dozens of people on this list and is highly
trustworthy relating to the information passed.
use Google and search for p@trick and you will see the contributions he
had made to many a list.
just my 2cents worth.

Tom
