Yep, that's correct. The mux file is located in /var/run/saslauthd/.
I've moved this directory to /var/spool/postfix/var/run, so that it is
in the chroot. Next I modified the startup script to put the file in
this directory and replaced the directory /var/run/saslauthd/ with a
link to /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd/, so that cyrus still
works. And as far as I can tell, cyrus does indeed still work, because
I'm able to login to Cyrus IMAPd which uses SASL.
