It has been awhile; however, if I remember correctly, the 'saslauthd'
daemon is not installed by Postfix. I think you are confusing this with
SASL in general. You might want to read the 'Complete Book of Postfix"
for further information on getting SASL up and running. BTW, unless it
has changes, 'saslauthd' only handles plain text authentication.
