I found a similar problem.
After having a postfix + saslauth server running for a while properly, 
one night some script (I still do not know which one) decided to move 
/var/spool/postfix/usr/sbin/saslauthd out of the chroot jail to 
/usr/sbin/saslauthd. After that, I configured the saslauthd to go into 
the jail "by hand". Three days later the problem repeated, but this 
time, it was concatenating the full path into the chroot jail, then I 
removed the "by hand" solution.
Then it worked fine for several months  and a few weeks ago the same 
thing happened. I found nothing on the lists regarding this.

Does any one know how to stop the "/usr/sbin/saslauthd" from moving 
around into the filesystem periodicaly?

Regards

Ariel
