NAME
       dtcpauth	-- Manipulate POP Authorization	DB

SYNOPSIS
       dtcpauth	[-i] [--init]
       dtcpauth	[-d] [--delete]	user
       dtcpauth	[-l] [--list] user | ALL
       dtcpauth	[-u] [--user] user [password]

DESCRIPTION
       The  dtcpauth  allows the super-user or master POP user to add, delete,
       or reset	credential data	for a user, or list which records exist.  Only
       the super-user may initialize the database.

       Under normal usage, dtcpauth prompts for	a new secret,  just  like  the
       passwd program.	It then	updates	the authorization DB.

       With  the  --user  or  -u switch, the super-user	or master POP user can
       create or reset credential data for the specified  user.	  This	switch
       allows  the  password to	be specified on	the command line, which	avoids
       the usual prompts and checks.  This is mostly useful in a  batch	 envi-
       ronment,	such as	in a script.

       With  the --init	or -i switch, the super-user can create	a new (or zero
       the existing) authorization DB.

       With the	--list or -l switch, the super-user or	master	POP  user  can
       verify  the  presence of	a record for the indicated user, or list users
       who have	records.  Users	can verify the presence	of their  own  records
       with this switch.

       With  the  --delete or -d switch, the super-user	or master POP user can
       remove a	user entry from	the authorization DB.

RETURN VALUES
       dtcpauth	will exit with positive	value on errors.

FILES
       /usr/local/etc/qpopper/pop.auth
		 The APOP authorization	database.
