poppassd v4.0.4 was installed as part of my recent installation of
Qpopper v4.0.4. I've been able to successfully retrieve mail via
POP-over-SSL. I'd like to give Eudora users the option of changing
passwords with the "Change Password..." option. The man pages
for poppassd notes that "-l 0|1|2" is a command line option.
-l tls-usage
Sets TLS/SSL handling. Must have compiled with OpenSSL
or SSL Plus.
0 is the default. TLS/SSL is not supported.
1 enables the STLS command. This permits a client to attempt
TLS/SSL negotiation after connecting.
2 Causes Qpopper to attempt TLS negotiation when a client
first connects. This is for alternate-port
support.
Should "-l 1" result in Eudora clients building SSL connections over
which passwords would be changed? I'm not sure that I'm invoking
poppassd properly with xinetd [though I do get an initial exchange
between a client and a server...as detected with a packet sniffer].
The problem is that despite the use of "-l 1" in my xinetd script
the client-server exchange is in clear-text.
