[Doug Maurer]

When setting up my smtp server for authentation. (sendmail)

I'm getting a message in /var/log/messages
unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2: No such file or directory

I've googled this thing and the only message says is to create and add
pwmethod:saslauthd 
and i've also tried pwmethod:auxprop

but i keep getting the message anyone know i can fix this, or point me
to the right link 
thanks
