however - a simple testsaslauthd -u <user> -p <pass> return success?
in my smtpd.conf i specify saslauthd as the pwcheck_method - what is PAM doing?!
Did you also try to specify smtp as service when you used testsaslauthd? testsaslauthd -s smtp -u <user> -p <pass>

Yes i got SASLAUTHD_AUTHMECH=pam Mechanisms: saslauthd 2.1.2 authentication mechanisms: getpwent kerberos5 pam rimap shadow ldap smtpd.conf: pwcheck_method: auxprop mech_list: plain login auxprop_plugin: sasldb2 when i specify the service i get denied access, obviously PAM was reading from the /etc/passwd file - because i was using a UNIX user to test auth.
