[sork] Re: passwd program

[Tim Gorter]

I have a similar issue with my server, where it is returning 300 ~~ instead
of 200 ~~ on some of the return codes, and thus falls over, although it
does tell me the password change was not successful. I had to change the
test for the return statement in the script to do this. I believe this is a
problem with the older poppasswd daemon. I don't know if this is the same
issue though, but it sounds similar.
