I see similar errors as well but have never looked into it.. 

Postfix and Dovecot (Ubuntu Hoary)

pwcheck_method: saslauthd
mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN

saslauthd is using

MECHANISMS="shadow"

/etc/sasldb2 is 660 root:sasl


I'm sort of figuring that it's a permission problem to the file.. could
adding postfix to group sasl solve the issue? However, saslauthd seems
to be running as root via ps -eaf | grep sasl

I've not had any issues authenticating, send or receiving, via multiple
connection types... pop3s, imaps, smtp(tls).. Is it something that needs
to be cleaned up or is it just noise?
