when I do a ps saslauthd I see this:
ps -ef|grep sasl
root      8458     1  0 08:12 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/saslauthd -a 
pam -c -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -r -n 5
root      8459  8458  0 08:12 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/saslauthd -a 
pam -c -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -r -n 5
root      8462  8458  0 08:12 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/saslauthd -a 
pam -c -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -r -n 5
root      8464  8458  0 08:12 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/saslauthd -a 
pam -c -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -r -n 5
root      8466  8458  0 08:12 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/saslauthd -a 
pam -c -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -r -n 5

yet mux is here:
 ls -l /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd
total 932
-rw------- 1 root root      0 2010-01-17 08:12 cache.flock
-rw------- 1 root root 945152 2010-01-17 08:12 cache.mmap
srwxrwxrwx 1 root root      0 2010-01-17 08:12 mux
-rw------- 1 root root      0 2010-01-17 08:12 mux.accept
-rw------- 1 root root      5 2010-01-17 08:12 saslauthd.pid

where is the config file that tells it where saslauthd is?

I stopped saslauthd, and restarted it with this line:
# /usr/sbin/saslauthd -a pam -c -m /var/run/saslauthd -r -n 5

and IT WORKED. so I need to find out what is making saslauthd go to the wrong 
place.
