CentOS 6.3 + Cyrus-SASL + Cyrus-sasl-plain

[Dale J Chatham <dale.chatham@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am running Stock CentOS 6.3 with updates.

Cyrus SASL from RPM: cyrus-sasl.x86_64 2.1.23-13.el6, and
cyrus-sasl-plain from RPM: cyrus-sasl-plain.x86_64 2.1.23-13.el6_3.1.

Plain doesn't seem to work properly:

 [root@odin ~]# saslauthd -v
saslauthd 2.1.23
authentication mechanisms: getpwent kerberos5 pam rimap shadow ldap

What am I not doing right?

TIA,

  Dale
