I have one quick question, and then I think I have got it. When is the useredit called from $XMAIL_ROOT/userauth/pop3/domain.tab? What I am planning is to write a script that takes the place of the passwd program that calls CtrlClnt to change the password in xmail, which calls said file and also changes the system password. What I need to know is what invokes the useredit command in that file. Will CtrlClnt -s server -u user -p password userpass domain username password call it? If so, I think I have figured out this whole external auth thing! Thanks for all your help, Dustin C. Hatch
