The cyrus-sasl rpms from RedHat don't include /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd. It
will then just use /etc/shadow for auth. I usually put 'MECH=pam' into the
file so saslauthd will use PAM.

Hmm, did you really install the rpms or did you just build them? After
rebuilding from src.rpm, You'll find the compiled packages in
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/. You have to install them with 'rpm -ivh
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/<filename>.rpm'. Building alone doesn't install
them.
