Going through sasl I saw --with-saslauthd=/var/run.

The ./configure --help output says:

--with-saslauthd=DIR    enable use of the saslauth daemon using state dir DIR

The fhs says:

/var/lib : Variable state information
State information is generally used to preserve the condition of an
application (or a group of inter-related applications) between
invocations and between different instances of the same application.
State information should generally remain valid after a reboot, should
not be logging output, and should not be spooled data.

Are there extenuating circumstances as to why the book uses /var/run?
