Sendmail + SASL2

[Ashley M. Kirchner]

    This may be OT, but I'm going to try anyway...  I have an old server 
which originally had SASL installed on it and sendmail 
compiled/configured to use (PLAIN LOGIN) authentication (NOT SASL).  
That server also uses NIS to get the user account information from 
another machine.  Everything works.

    Now, I'm trying to move everything to a new server which has SASL2 
installed.  I configured sendmail to use SASL2, and the machine is also 
using NIS like the old one.  The problem now is that it's requiring me 
to actually use the sasldb file and set up the users individually.  I 
didn't have to do that on the old machine.  It authenticated against the 
password file (which was being imported by NIS.)  But I can't figure out 
why it won't work on the new one.  All the config files are the same, 
all the sendmail files are configured the same.  So why is it forcing me 
to use the sasldb?
