I want authentication against /etc/passwd (ultimately), not using 
sasldb2.db.

There is no /var/run/saslauthd/mux, and saslauthd doesn't appear 
installed -- I'm getting the impression that selecting "Cyrus-SASL" in 
the make config dialog box for the Postfix port doesn't completely 
install cyrus-sasl components.

I'm guessing the solution is to completely install the cyrus-sasl2 port 
to enable the use of saslauthd.  Yes?  Or am I way off?
