QPOPAUTH(8)		    System Manager's Manual		   QPOPAUTH(8)

NAME
       qpopauth	-- manipulate POP authorization	DB

SYNOPSIS
       qpopauth	[ -trace tracefile ] [ -debug ]	[ -init	[ -safe	] ]
	       [ -list [ user |	ALL ] ]	[ -delete user ]
	       [ -user user [ password ] ] [ -help ] [ -version	]

DESCRIPTION
       The qpopauth program allows POP subscribers to add or change the	secret
       values  used to generate	their authentication credentials, or to	verify
       the existance of	their records.

       In addition, the	super-user or master POP user can add, delete, or  re-
       set  credential data for	a user,	or list	which records exist.  Only the
       super-user may initialize the database.	qpopauth is useful  only  when
       the  APOP  (or SCRAM) configuration option is defined.  See the INSTALL
       file in the Qpopper distribution	for more information.

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

       With  the -user 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 environment, such
       as in a script.

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

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