My system is redhat AS 3 update 4

postfix is 2.0.16-14 stock rpm package

and following rpm packages related to sasl were installed
cyrus-sasl-2.1.15-10
cyrus-sasl-md5-2.1.15-10
cyrus-sasl-gssapi-2.1.15-10
cyrus-sasl-plain-2.1.15-10
cyrus-sasl-devel-2.1.15-10

I added followings line in /etc/postfix/main.cf

smtpd_sasl_auth_enable =3D yes
smtpd_recipient_restrictions =3D permit_authenticated permit_mynetworks
check_relay_domains
smtpd_sasl_security_options =3D noanonymous
broken_sasl_auth_clients =3D yes

updated the file /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf=20
pwcheck_method: saslauthd

then start saslauthd and restart postfix

try telnet localhost 25

250-PIPELINING
250-SIZE 10240000
250-VRFY
250-ETRN
250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN GSSAPI
250-XVERP
250 8BITMIME

In the AUTH, I can't see whatever DIGEST-MD5 and CRAM-MD5 auth.
mechanism which I saw in other postfix installation tutorial on the
Internet

What other configuration I was missed ?
