I ran into this type of problem with qpopper 2.5.3 on HPUX 10.20 running in
a trusted environment. The way the encrypted passwords were stored by HPUX
was different than the way that qpopper was handling the encryption. The
problem only occurred on passwords greater than eight characters in length.
qpopper would calculate the whole thing while I believe HPUX only actually
used the first eight. A simple mod to qpopper fixed the problem.
