saslauthd not working

[Denis Ford]

Hello,

I've got a fresh installation of Fedora Core 1, with all packages updated
from the dulug mirror.  I'm trying to get SASL/Pam authentication set up for
Postfix, according to the README in the postfix docs
(/usr/share/doc/postfix-2.0.11/README-Postfix-SASL-RedHat.txt) .  I've gone
through all the steps, but it appears that saslauthd isn't working right:

$ /usr/sbin/testsaslauthd -u myuser -p mypasswd
0: NO "authentication failed"

I've confirmed that saslauthd is running, and as instructed,
/etc/sysconfig/saslauthd is set to MECH=pam

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Denis
