try: testsaslauthd -u username -p password -r "127.0.0.1;234" -s servicename (the -r flag probably isn't needed, i believe it specifies the realm name.) This should test saslauthd and your pam configuration. I believe on redhat they called it cyrus-testsaslauthd or something along those lines if it is included. If that works, you know your backend is configured correctly. I would probably try it with pam_unix and a local account if that doesnt work, just to see if the problem is with your pam stack or with the pam module.
