That could explain why I couldn't find an existing mod_auth_sasl module!
 However, I'm fairly confident that the code should be thread safe
(Touch wood!) and it seems to be running fine on my server! (Touches
wood again to be on the safe side!).

I've had a quick look and I'm a bit confused why you're connecting
directly to the saslauthd socket - if you use the Cyrus-SASL server
library then you can use the option saslauthd_path: in the
/usr/lib/sasl2/SERVICE.conf file.

However, this is my first attempt at writing a Cyrus-SASL program so
there's a good chance that I've missed something.

Like mod_auth_imap, the module I "borrowed" most of the code from, mine
just deals with bog standard plain text passwords with no groups.  By
comparison, I think yours even includes the kitchen sink! :-))))

Take care,
