Hello.

This is Mayumi Yahagi of IT Frontier co.Ltd.
I send to this mailing list for the first time.

I would like to know if poppassd can be used on Solaris8.

I compiled and installed qpopper-4.0.4 with poppassd on Solaris8.
The commands I executed are following:

1.% cd /usr/local/src/qpopper4.0.4
2. % ./configure --enable-poppassd
3. % make
4. # make install

Moreover, I editted /etc/inetd.conf, /etc/syslog.conf, and /etc/services
for using qpopper and poppassd.
The description is following:

:/etc/inetd.conf:
pop3    stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/local/lib/popper   qpopper -s
-R -S
poppassd        stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/local/lib/poppassd
poppassd -R -p /bin/passwd

:/etc/syslog.conf:
local0.notice;local0.debug      /var/log/popper.log
local2.err      /var/log/poppassd.log

:/etc/services:
pop3            11/tcp                         # Post Office Protocol -
Version3
poppassd        106/tcp                         # POP password change

After editting those files, I refreshed the daemon: inetd, syslogd.

Next, I examined using qpopper and poppassd.
The ways of tests are executing "telnet" to port 106(poppassd) and port
110(qpopper), and using softwares on PC.

As a result, I could use qpopper with no problem, but could not use
poppassd successfully.

In detail, I could connect to port 106, but could not change password.
The message appeared in log file is following:

"Jul 26 14:01:00 yatabe poppassd[830]: [ID 702911 local2.error] passwd
failed for test"

I would like to know the cause that I could not change password using
poppassd-4.0.4:
because poppassd is not be applied to Solaris8, I compiled and installed in
the wrong way, or the description of files is wrong.

Would you please let me have information?
