poppassd experts,
I can connect by telneting to port 106 from the local
host. However, the error I get when using this method is "400
Server busy -- try again later". So I am now thinking that there
is some issue with it reading passwords from Fedora 3. I believe
Fedora uses shadow passwords so I compiled popppassd with the
special_auth option. Regardless, I can't change a password. I
might end up moving to a php script if I can't get this to work
soon. Any suggestions are very much welcome!
If you need a web-based password changing capability for your users,
take a look at this one:
http://www.unicom.com/sw/web-chpass/
We use that for our users, and it works well.
If you're not using POPPASSD from Eudora or other clients anyway,
then it's probably not worth messing with.

No, he pointed out this is intentional, because it is only supposed to
allow connections from the webmail software running on the same box.
If there *is* any problem relating to this, it might be that the
webmail software is connecting to a public IP address instead of
localhost.
