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 reset
     credential data for a user, or list which	records  exist.   Only	the  su-
     per-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 re-
     set credential data for the specified user.  This switch allows  the  pass-
     word  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 exist-
     ing) 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.
