Hi,
To get poppassd working under Debian 1.2, I had to change the P2 string in
line 184 of poppassd.c from:
"enter new password: "
to:
"changing password for *\nenter new password: "
This fixes the problem of getting the poppassd program hung while waiting
for passwd to finish execution.
Are you the right person to report this or a need to got to someone else? I
think a new version is needed to solve this since the package does not work
out of the box.
Finally, there are problems when the user types an invalid password (less
than 6 chars. or without both numbers and letters). To solve this I execute
the passwd command with the -o option, to force any password typed to be
valid. I do not know how to fix poppassd to work without doing this. The
problem seems to be that the passwd program is too picky and behaves very
interactively (too much, I would say.)
Regards,
E.-
