27 popauth - manipulate POP authorization DB
30 \%[\-init] \%[\-list] \%[\-user\ name]
33 The \fIpopauth\fR program allows a POP-subscriber to change the secret
34 value used to generate their authentication credentials.
36 the super\-user or master POP user may use this program to either
37 initialize the database or to print public information from it.
38 \fIpopauth\fR is useful only when the APOP configuration option is defined.
39 (This configuration option defines the name of the POP authorization DB.)
42 \fIpopauth\fR prompts for a new secret,
43 just like the \fIpasswd\fR program.
44 It then updates the POP authorization DB accordingly.
46 With the `\-init' switch,
47 the super-user or master POP user can create a new (or zero the existing)
50 With the `\-list' switch,
51 the super-user or master POP user can print out public information
52 about the named subscriber (or all subscribers).
