Hello Marcus,

Yes, you need a program called (suprise!) "poppasswd". It  listens  to
port 106 and talks a POP-like protocol that  allows  users  to  change
their password.

There are several versions floating around, have a look  on  ftpsearch
or google. I'm fairly sure that ready-to-run versions for Linux should
be  easy  to  find.  I  had to hack the source code somewhat to have a
version run reliably on FreeBSD.

I got mine from: ftp://ftp.qualcomm.com/eudora/servers/unix/password

Cheers,
_Alain_
