tcpserver has nothing to do with checkpassword

So far so good... only that -x parameter must be BEFORE the first
zero; this way, -x is parameter of qmail-smtpd and not tcpserver.

With which patches? PAM-enabled? Shadow passwords?

What happens if you telnet to port 110 on the computer and say
USER username
PASS password
(that's the authentication part of POP3 session)

Does your system use PAM? Does it use shadow passwords?
(Does it use MD5 passwords?)
