DESCRIPTION
       ssaassllcchheecckkppaassss(())  will  check  a plaintext password. This is needed for
       protocols that had a login method before SASL (for  example  the  LOGIN
       command  in  IMAP). The password is checked with the pwcheckmethod See
       saslcallbacks(3) for information on how this parameter is set.


RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEE
       saslcheckpass returns an integer which corresponds to one of the  fol-
       lowing  codes.  SASLOK  indicates that the authentication is complete.
       All other return codes indicate errors and should either be handled  or
       the  authentication  session  should  be  quit.  See saslerrors(3) for
       meanings of return codes.
