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

[Suraj Jadhav]

  Hello,

I did not understand, how do I disable it?
I have following lines in the file ....I tried commenting one line each and tried commenting all of them together...as soon as I do that poppassd says 500 Old password is incorrect for any password given...

#%PAM-1.0
auth       required	/lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok
account    required	/lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
password   required	/lib/security/pam_cracklib.so retry=3
password   required	/lib/security/pam_pwdb.so use_authtok nullok

Error after commenting he lines....

Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
200 poppassd v1.8.5 hello, who are you?
user suraj
200 Your password please.
pass Worthatry2
500 Old password is incorrect.
Connection closed by foreign host.
