The question is where this should be downloaded to. The section BLFS Systemd Units states: . . .

Extract it using the tar command like you would normally, and then cd into it (example: tar -xf blfs-systemd-units-20191026.tar.xz && cd blfs-systemd-units-20191026) You can then run a "vi blfs/units/saslauthd.service" for example and make sure that it fits your needs. In the majority of cases, it should meet the needs of the user by default. Since you're specifically mentioning Cyrus SASL, make sure you view blfs/default/saslauthd just to make sure that it meets the needs that you're looking for. Thank you, - Doug Thanks! That worked.
