Change this to saslauthd and run 'saslauthd -a getpwent'

Note that this will only work if the POP/IMAP client uses plaintext 
authentication.  If you have clients capable of other mechanisms, then 
you either have to have users secrets in sasldb2, or disable the other 
mechs by adding a line like this to imapd.conf:

sasl_mech_list: plain
