sendmail sasl configuration

[Sean Ellis]

Hello freebsd-isp,

  I am trying to enable sasl and having some problems.

  The sendmail that we are using is made by hand rather the ports;
  the security/cyrus-sasl port was also installed. At this point
  running the command `sendmail -d0.1 -bv root | grep SASL` gives the
  following output:
                  PIPELINING SASL SCANF TCPWRAPPERS USERDB XDEBUG

  However telnetting to port 25 with the new sendmail running gives
  only:
  
Connected to localhost.linwoodhomes.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 xxxxxxxxxxx.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.2/8.12.2; Sat, 23 Aug 2003 11:27:17 -0700 (PDT)

and the following log error appears when restarting sendmail:

error: safesasl(/usr/local/etc/sasldb.db) failed: Permission denied

file is:

-rw-r-----  1 cyrus  wheel  16384 Aug 22 17:23 /usr/local/etc/sasldb.db

sendmail.mc options were taken from the freebsd handbook page on the
topic.

Can anyone steer me in the right direction here?
