saslauthd links the pam libraries just like libsasl used to in SASLv1.
libsasl2 now connects to a unix domain socket, which saslauthd is
listening to, presents the username and password, and saslauthd consults
pam, and replies either yes or now. This is similar to how pwcheck works.
To start saslauthd, you give it a password checking mechanism (e.g. pam or
rimap or kerberos4 or shadow, such as:
saslauthd -a shadow
