Since my build specifies:

--with-configdir=/opt/zimbra/conf/sasl2

I created a /opt/zimbra/conf/sasl2/sample.conf file with the data:
pwcheck_method: saslauthd

I'm not sure I'm executing "server" 100% correctly as I gave it no options, 
however it fails though with the same error as postfix.  What can I do to 
debug this further?

No, it looks the same between a 2.1.23 and 2.1.25 system.
