Laszlo Ersek dfb3804d47 sasl: Avoid 'Could not find keytab file' in syslog
The "keytab" specification in "qemu.sasl" only makes sense if "gssapi" is
selected in "mech_list". Even if the latter is not done (ie. "gssapi" is
not selected), the cyrus-sasl library tries to open the specified keytab
file, although nothing has a use for it outside the gssapi backend.

Since the default keytab file "/etc/qemu/krb5.tab" is usually absent, the
cyrus-sasl library emits a warning to syslog at startup, which tends to
annoy users (who didn't ask for gssapi in the first place).

Comment out the keytab specification per default.

"qemu-doc.texi" already correctly explains how to use "mech_list: gssapi"
together with "keytab:".

# If you want to use the non-TLS socket, then you *must* include
# the GSSAPI or DIGEST-MD5 mechanisms, because they are the only
# ones that can offer session encryption as well as authentication.
#
# If you're only using TLS, then you can turn on any mechanisms
# you like for authentication, because TLS provides the encryption
#
# Default to a simple username+password mechanism
# NB digest-md5 is no longer considered secure by current standards
mech_list: digest-md5
# Before you can use GSSAPI, you need a service principle on the
# KDC server for libvirt, and that to be exported to the keytab
# file listed below
#mech_list: gssapi
#
# You can also list many mechanisms at once, then the user can choose
# by adding '?auth=sasl.gssapi' to their libvirt URI, eg
# qemu+tcp://hostname/system?auth=sasl.gssapi
#mech_list: digest-md5 gssapi
# Some older builds of MIT kerberos on Linux ignore this option &
# instead need KRB5_KTNAME env var.
# For modern Linux, and other OS, this should be sufficient
#
# There is no default value here, uncomment if you need this
#keytab: /etc/qemu/krb5.tab
# If using digest-md5 for username/passwds, then this is the file
# containing the passwds. Use 'saslpasswd2 -a qemu [username]'
# to add entries, and 'sasldblistusers2 -f [sasldb_path]' to browse it
