Hi Paul,
I have installed the change_password on SERVER A and also the poppassd
utility on the SERVER B where i want to change the users password .
( the passwords are in the /etc/password file on RED HAT linux )
the settings.php file is here below
<?php
#global $imapServerAddress;
#global $62.150.152.2;
#
/* Use the address of the IMAP server as the default */
$poppass_server = $62.150.152.2;
# $poppass_server = 127.0.0.1;
/* The default port for poppassd is 106 */
$poppass_port = 106;
?>
but i get the following error when i go to options menu in squirelmail and
try to change the password
---------------------------------------------
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_DNUMBER, expecting T_VARIABLE or
'$' in /var/www/html/squirrelmail-1.4.2/plugins/change_pass/settings.php
on line 7
-------------------------------------------------------------
As i said before i am running squireel mail on on server A and want to
allow a user change his password on server B.
All other settings for the user is working perfectly fine
appreciate your help
regards
simon
