/var/log/messages: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2: No such file or directory

I am running CentOS with sendmail. In my /var/log/messages I keep seeing this error:

Feb 20 01:38:49 sendmail[3196]: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2: No such file or directory
Feb 20 01:38:49 sendmail[3196]: no secret in database

Everything appears to be working OK, but I'd like to know:
- Why this error appears
- How I can solve it.

Thanks...

Thanks guys -- I'll get this closed out in the AM, but I was wondering just for the heck of it, why this situation would occur, etc. It just seems kinda hacky to have to do this (although if it works, I don't care).

Do you use authentication in your SMTP server? You have it configured, but do you use it? If so, where are your users' passwords stored?
Do you have /usr/lib/sasl2/sendmail.conf file? If so, paste its content here.
