I have it working on an alpha running updated RH6.0.

postfix-20010228-pl05
cyrus-sasl-1.5.24

[rootproton /root]# grep sasl /etc/postfix/main.cf
#sasl stuff
broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $myhostname
smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous

[rootproton /root]# cat /usr/local/lib/sasl/smtpd.conf
pwcheck_method: sasldb

Make sure there is a link from /usr/lib/sasl to
/usr/local/lib/sasl/, or wherever you installed the sasl stuff.

Make sure that when you add users you use the same domain as user
domain as you have in main.cf, else authentication will fail.

When trying to get this to work, i noticed in some docs that
plaintext passwords would not work with some pwcheck_methods, and
vice versa.

Hope this helps,
