Configuring saslauthd on SuSE

I can't see how to get DIGEST-MD5 or LDAP methods working on SuSE. The only config file I have found is in /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd and no matter what choices I add to the line that says "pam" I get errors. The files mentioned in the man page (saslauthd.conf) don't exist on my system at all. SuSE 9.1 with all updates. Misty
