>Description:

When configured to use SASL with Kerberos support (the SASLKRB option),
the mail/postfix port incorrectly specifies "-lkrb" in POSTFIX_AUXLIBS.
The correct library to use on FreeBSD 5 is "-lkrb5".

>How-To-Repeat:

Check out the current ports.  Go to the "mail/postfix" directory and
type "make".  When prompted, select the "SASL2" and "SASLKRB" options.
When make attempts to link the "master" executable, the linker fails
when it cannot find "libkrb".

>Fix:

Change mail/postfix/scripts/configure.postfix, line 104, to read:

    echo "POSTFIX_AUXLIBS+= -lkrb5 -lcrypto -lcom_err"

There may be an easy way to autodetect this, similar to how the
configure.postfix script automatically detects when SASL2 is dependent
on MySQL and transparently adds the appropriate pre-processor and
linker options.
