The cyrus-sasl rpms from RedHat don't include /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd. It will then just use /etc/shadow for auth. I usually put 'MECH=pam' into the file so saslauthd will use PAM. > write one.

Hmm, did you really install the rpms or did you just build them? After rebuilding from src.rpm, You'll find the compiled packages in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/. You have to install them with 'rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/<filename>.rpm'. Building alone doesn't install them.
