Okay, the smtpd.conf file seems to be working in /usr/lib/sasl2. This
is what I get now:

220 ferazelhosting.net ESMTP Postfix
EHLO there
250-ferazelhosting.net
250-PIPELINING
250-SIZE 10240000
250-VRFY
250-ETRN
250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN
250-AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN
250 8BITMIME

I think you're right in that postfix can't find the socket. I see
this in my logfile now:
Nov 29 00:10:18 mazer postfix/smtpd[4489]: warning: SASL
authentication failure: cannot connect to saslauthd server: No such
file or directory
