Unable to auth (saslauthd on Red Hat 7.3)

[Gerke Kok]

Hi Jonathan,
nice to hear from you this way :-)
This was what I feared all along: the cyrus-imap server looked at: 
/var/state/saslauthd/mux iso /var/run/saslauthd/mux. Don't realy know 
why. It might be because I had tried to install the two ( cyrus-sasl and 
cyrus-imapd) from source first. This must have messed it up. It's a pity 
I could not find the setting/option that I would need to give to 
cyrus-imapd where to find the mux-socket. I was looking for it, see.
Thanks again: it works nicely!
wkr,
Gerke

( cannot connect to saslauthd server: No such file or directory ( just 
for the desperate :-) to find this))
