Right, ARGH... ;)

I see. I'd rather solve this with stable debian packages. I tried to
compile from source but ran in so many problems...and i didn't want to
rely on backports or unstable tree, too many things to install/update
from backports and unstable to work with sasl2 and saslauthd.

Does anybody know where such an ancient version of postfix looks for
pwcheck socket? And possibly what permissions are needed? Since ppl
report it to work, it must be put somewhere. Unfortunately all the docs
i found on the net report my same configuration as working, same
versions of packages. But in my case it doesn't work. :(
