Most probably saslauthd does not call the PAM session management
functions. I did not look at the saslauthd code though. As saslauthd is
about authentication and authorization and not about managing user
sessions it seems pretty logical. I'd say that the session management
functions should be called directly by the application (IMAP) if at all.
