The BLFS-installation instuction for cyrus-sasl says: 'install -v -m700 -d /var/lib/sasl /var/run/saslauthd' this restricts access to '/var/run/saslauthd/mux' to processes running with root privs.
I just recognized this problem, when installing/testing cyrus-imapd from scratch. I followed the cyrus instructions to run the service under an unpriv user(cyrus), and I set its authentication method to 'sasl_pwcheck_method:to saslauthd' Setting the privs for '/var/run/saslauthd' 711 works.
