FreeBSD myhost 4.6-STABLE FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE #10: Tue Jul 16 09:02:28 PDT 2002 mykernel i386
>Description:
The poppassd port expects output from /usr/bin/passwd that doesn't match its current output.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try using poppassd to change a password.  It'll report failure even though it successfully changed a password.
>Fix:
On or around line 169 of poppassd.c (after the existing freebsd patch is applied), the following line should be inserted:

"\npasswd: updating the database...\npasswd: done\n",

That is the output of /usr/bin/passwd upon success... right now poppassd looks for "rebuilding" instead of "updating".
