 where are we supposed to set the parameters for saslauthd?

 I edited /etc/init.d/saslauthd, and that's probably not the right place
 to put them?


 There's probably a saslauthd file in /etc/conf.d

Hm, I need to check again to be sure whether there is or isn't.

If there is, then how is it included into the startup script?  And why
isn't there anything in /etc/default for it, where I would expect it?

Or, more general, what are the criteria with Gentoo whether to put such
a file into /etc/default or into /etc/conf.d?

Again we must be afraid of speaking of daemons for fear that daemons
might swallow us.  Finally, this fear has become reasonable.

/etc/conf.d is an openrc feature. Any script in /etc/init.d should read
the corresponding file in conf.d. It is openrc's way of separating
configuration from the init scripts.

If the file doesn't exist, create it, but most packages include an
example conf.d file.
