Why on Earth do you need anyone else then root to run
checkpassword? The way it is designed to work is:
1. tcpserver - qmail-popup running as root accept the connection,
read the user name and password
2. checkpassword - still as root - verifies the password and then
drops root, switches to the context of the verified user and chdir()s
into his home directory
3. qmail-pop3d as the user picks up the mail.
