POPAUTH(8)					       POPAUTH(8)

NAME
       popauth - manipulate POP authorization DB

SYNOPSIS
       popauth [-init] [-list] [-delete name] [-user name]

       popauth [/help]

DESCRIPTION
       The  popauth program allows a POP-subscriber to change the
       secret value used to generate their authentication creden-
       tials.  In addition, the super-user or master POP user may
       use this program to either add or remove	 a  user,  or  to
       print public information from it.  Only the super-user may
       initialize the database.	 popauth is useful only when  the
       APOP configuration option is defined.  (This configuration
       option defines the name of the POP authorization DB.)

       Under normal usage, popauth prompts for a new secret, just
       like  the  passwd program.  It then updates the POP autho-
       rization DB accordingly.

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

       With the `-list' switch, the super-user or master POP user
       can print out public  information  about	 the  named  sub-
       scriber (or all subscribers).

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

FILES
       /etc/pop.auth.* POP authorization DB

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
       This program was derived from MH 6.8.3
