Bill, I know this problem very well because we have had it with our systems.
I had used a custom patch to saslauthd basically, but have a look at this dicussion thead (including the patch if you care): http://asg.web.cmu.edu/archive/message.php?mailbox=archive.cyrus-sasl&msg=5918 Especially I was given a reference to http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin22/sasl.html I never followed this up because it just worked with my patch (for years now) but I might want to take the time and find out how we can migrate back to an "out of the box" system with no site specific code.
