[sork] Poppassd/passwd 500 error

[Brendan B. Chard]

You will want to make sure that the poppassd server is being used and is
properly specified in your /etc/inetd.conf file

Below are the lines I have from my /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf files

/etc/services
pop3pw          106/tcp    3com-tsmux   #Eudora compatible PW changer

/etc/inetd.conf
pop3pw  stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/local/libexec/poppassd
poppassd


When you telnet to your server on port 106 it should say:
200 poppassd v1.2 hello, who are you?

Hope that helps.

Subject: [sork] Poppassd/passwd 500 error

Hi everyone,

Perhaps someone can help me with this issue. I have the passwd module
for horde installed and configured. I also have poppassd installed on
the machine in question and I changed a pass from the command line via
SSH and it seems to be working properly. However when I try to change
the pass online via the passwd module, I get the following error.

Failure in changing password : 500 Invalid user or password.

While it's entirely possible I was entering the wrong password, all 50
times. It's highly unlikely. Has anyone else run into this problem
before? Was there some crucial configuration step I missed?

I'm using horde 2.2 and imp 3.2.2.

Thanks in advance.
