That's exactly how I've got it setup, but, it doesn't work. If you use
the authtest program, it will not handle a /etc/passwd user. I've tried
the syntax:
./authtest -m authvchkpw username password
./authtest -m authvchkpw username@ password
./authtest -m authvchkpw username% password
and all fail. But, I can telnet to port 110 and authenticate with a
/etc/passwd user just fine and of course pop in.
Thanks,
Tren.
