Perhaps because the Cyrus-SASL help info is misleading? As is well
pointed out by the text in the BLFS book, this dir is used for
run-time data, if I remember correctly, this is where the PID file
is created.

Please, fire up the saslauthd daemon, and if the PID is not created
in /var/run, and other files are created there instead, let me know
and I will fix the book.
