Failing at 1st test-the-SASL-server steps

[Sean O'Malley]

To test this you want to use cyrus_sasl_sample_client and
cyrus_sasl_sample_server in your case they emulate the ldap client and
ldap server.

saslauthd is a backend daemon for the sasl libs which is used more like a
plugin which the sasl_libs call.

You really want something more along the lines of:
cyrus_sasl_sample_server -p 389 -s ldap -m GSSAPI
cyrus_sasl_sample_client -p 389 -s ldap -m GSSAPI localhost
