The only file that 1) is listed in /etc/syslog.conf and 2) has saslauthd-related stuff in it is /var/log/messages. It says: Sep 28 09:50:33 myhost PAM-warn[9488]: function=[pam_sm_authenticate] service=[] terminal=[<unknown>] user=[myuser] ruser=[<unknown>] rhost=[<unknown>] Sep 28 09:50:33 myhost saslauthd[9488]: DEBUG: auth_pam: pam_authenticate failed: Authentication failure Sep 28 09:50:33 myhost saslauthd[9488]: do_auth : auth failure: [user=myuser] [service=] [realm=] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error] I can't get any further information from this :P - Perhaps you can.
