The trick is to store the REAL socket (of saslauthd) in the
/var/spool/postfix/ directory, and symlinking the directory from
/var/run/saslauthd to /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd.
This way you don't need to alter anything, the socket just gets dropped
in the symlinked directory. I used that for quite some time and it works
but as dovecot now can do the auth I got rid of all cyrus hackery.
