I might be a bone head... but I had tried --with-auth=ldap by mis take when running ./configure

[Edward Rudd]

The --with-auth option for cyrus-imapd is to specify unix or
kerberos(krb) authentication (in the ./configure --help) LDAP is not an
option for that.
What you are wanting is the --with-ldap option for cyrus sasl 2 to
enable ldap auth in saslauthd.
