When I tried similar configuration, I needed to modify starting script
for saslauthd (RedHat 7.3), modifying path to saslauthd socket:
#! /bin/bash
#
# saslauthd Start/Stop the SASL authentication daemon.
#
# chkconfig: - 65 35
# description: saslauthd is a server process which handles plaintext \
# authentication requests on behalf of the cyrus-sasl library.
# processname: saslauthd
# Source function library.
. /etc/init.d/functions
# Source our configuration file for these variables.
SOCKET=/var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd
MECH=ldap
FLAGS="-O /etc/saslauthd.conf"
if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd ] ; then
. /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd
fi
RETVAL=0
# Set up some common variables before we launch into what might be
# considered boilerplate by now.
prog=saslauthd
path=/usr/sbin/saslauthd
start() {
echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
daemon $path -m $SOCKET -a $MECH $FLAGS
RETVAL=$?
echo
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/$prog
return $RETVAL
}
etc (stop, restart...).
