It is nearly impossible to get sasl to work *correctly* in a chroot
and even more difficult with PAM.
I just run it outside of it's jail... Also, you cannot use anything
but PLAIN auth (plaintext userid/passwd in a base64 string) if you use
PAM. Probably not a good idea. If you use sasldb (or sasldb2) then you
can use things like CRAM-MD5.

Not I, though that is probably how you'd be able to run it in a
chroot...
