[horde] Problem using poppassd as backend....

[Suraj Jadhav]

Hello,

I have configured popassd and its working fine. I am able to change passwords from passwd/horde. There is problem here...if I am using a password which fits in requirements of popassd then the password change happens, if the password is not fitting in requirements of poppassd still horde/passwd says that password have been changed - but in fact the poppassd has denied password change saying following...Has any one seen anything like this or am I doing anything wrong? Is it possible to capture poppassd error and display it to the user?

When password change dose not work....

[root at weboffice tmp]# telnet 127.0.0.1 106
Trying 127.0.0.1...
