POPAUTH(8)

NAME
popauth - manipulate POP authorization DB

SYNOPSIS
popauth [-init] [-list] [-user name] [-help]

DESCRIPTION
The popauth program allows a POP-subscriber to change the secret value used to generate their authentication credentials. In addition, the super-user or master POP user may use this program to either initialize the database or to print public information from it. popauth is useful only when the APOP configuration option is defined. (This configuration option defines the name of the POP authorization DB.) Under normal usage, popauth prompts for a new secret, just like the passwd program. It then updates the POP authorization DB accordingly. With the `-init' switch, the super-user or master POP user can create a new (or zero the existing) POP authorization DB. With the `-list' switch, the super-user or master POP user can print out public information about the named subscriber (or all subscribers). ^/etc/pop.auth.*~^POP authorization DB None popd(8) None None
