POPAUTH(8)POPAUTH(8)NAMEpopauth - manipulate POP authorization DB
SYNOPSISpopauth [-init] [-list] [-delete name] [-user name]
popauth [/help]
DESCRIPTION
The popauth program allows a POP-subscriber to change the
secret value used to generate their authentication creden-
tials. In addition, the super-user or master POP user may
use this program to either add or remove a user, or to
print public information from it. Only the super-user may
initialize the database. popauth is useful only when the
APOP configuration option is defined. (This configuration
option defines the name of the POP authorization DB.)
Under normal usage, popauth prompts for a new secret, just
like the passwd program. It then updates the POP autho-
rization DB accordingly.
With the `-init' switch, the super-user can create a new
(or zero the existing) POP authorization DB.
With the `-list' switch, the super-user or master POP user
can print out public information about the named sub-
scriber (or all subscribers).
With the `-delete' switch, the super-user or master POP
user can remove a user entry from the authorization DB.
