I got that impression too, it's used by saslauthd, not by cyrus 
directly, and when I create a new sasldb, by using saslpasswd2 -c, I get 
a ... Berkeley database!

They're all Berkeley db files :

# file sasl*
sasldb.db:          Berkeley DB 1.85 (Hash, version 2, native byte-order)
sasldb2.berkeleydb: Berkeley DB 1.85 (Hash, version 2, native byte-order)
sasldb2.db:         Berkeley DB 1.85 (Hash, version 2, native byte-order)
sasldb2.db.fcs:     Berkeley DB 1.85 (Hash, version 2, native byte-order)

My older Cyrus config has this :

sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop

I'm not exactly sure of how that works, I set it up, more than 10 years 
ago and it's just worked ever since.

Sendmail seemed ok with it too, I'm wondering exactly how postfix will cope.
