It is a daemon, which runs on the server assuring authentification, and 
which permits to remotely change system password. As such, it only gives 
changing possibilities. The module based on popassd only works for Horde 
authentification driver which used system token for authentification (It 
is useless for any kind of LDAP or sql auth).

 I think chuck imagine a way to parametrize thez Auth:: api for changing 
password with a driver different from the one used (i.e. to use popassd 
even if we use sql or IMAP for auth).

 It must not be a huge change to Auth::, but it as to be done....  I 
don't know if I'll be able to spare some time for it in the following 
days...
