checkpassword

[Nathaniel L. Keeling III]

I am relatively new to this, but how do you get the encrypted password
into the assign files? I am trying to setup the pop3 users and I need to
create the assigns file. Do you use the unix's crypt command and then
cut and paste this into the file? What key do you use to encrypt the
password using the crypt command? Do you use the root user's password as
the key?

thanks
