>Description:
     The Handbook section 20.9, SMTP Authentication needs a small change.
     
     Sendmail 8.12.9 documentation for confDEF_AUTH_INFO says in part:

        Notice: this option is deprecated and will be removed in future 
        versions; it doesn't work for the MSP since it can't read the file.  
        Use the authinfo ruleset instead.  See also the section SMTP 
        AUTHENTICATION.

     So the section in the handbook that says:

     Add these lines to it:

        dnl set SASL options
        TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN')dnl
        define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN')dnl
        define(`confDEF_AUTH_INFO', `/etc/mail/auth-info')dnl
   
     should be changed to:

        FEATURE(authinfo, `hash -o /etc/mail/authinfo')dnl

     then add a line something like:

        AuthInfo: domain.tld "U:user" "P:password" "M:PLAIN
   
     then makemap hash authinfo < authinfo

>How-To-Repeat:
	n/a
>Fix:

	Change the one line. It would be helpful to describe the format of the 
	authinfo entries


>Release-Note:
>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
