Thanks Chris.  I note now that in the INSTALL file it lists SASLv1 only.  
Do people not use it ("it" meaning SASL support in Argus) these days 
because there is a different safe and reliable way to protect data from a 
probe to a concentrator?  I don't like the thought of sending this data in 
the clear on a user network, and for my current needs that is the network 
I'm using.  Otherwise for the time being I will install and use SASLv1 
instead!

Thanks!

-Mike
