Apologies, here is the correct directory:

root at collab:/var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd# ls -al
total 980
drwxr-x--- 2 root postfix   4096 2008-06-16 13:05 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root      4096 2008-06-16 13:05 ..
-rw------- 1 root root         0 2008-06-16 13:05 cache.flock
-rw------- 1 root root    986112 2008-06-16 13:05 cache.mmap
srwxrwxrwx 1 root root         0 2008-06-16 13:05 mux
-rw------- 1 root root         0 2008-06-16 13:05 mux.accept
-rw------- 1 root root         6 2008-06-16 13:05 saslauthd.pid

as you can see I have even set the ownership to postfix to make it
easier, but no joy, I am getting the same old
