Ok, I'm no expert at all, but have you considered "--with-pam"
and then gone through the stuff you need to do when you're
using pam? I think RedHat 6.2 uses PAM by default on
installs. The PAM stuff is in the documentation and I believe
in the text files that come with the qpopper tarball.
Hope I'm leading you up the right path anyway.
