When you run testsaslauthd, be sure to use the '-s' flag to set a service name -- this in turn is used when calling into the PAM library, so it should be the name of a valid configuration in /etc/pam.d (the default appears to be "imap"). If that doesn't get things running, the logs in /var/log/messages should shed some light on things. HTH, Nalin
