The source for pwcheck is part of the cyrus distribution. If you installed cyrus using the FreeBSD port, pwcheck would be in /usr/ports/mail/cyrus/work/cyrus-imapd-v1.5.2/pwcheck/ How you modify it is pretty much up to you; and should depend upon exactly what you are trying to do. It could be made to use a private copy of the password file, or to use a private copy in addition to the system passwords. Or it could be made to use some completely different mechanism. Personally, I'd like to see someone do a version that checked the username and password against an LDAP database. (Or, better yet, add LDAP as a verification option to imapd and bypass pwcheck entirely.) -Pat To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
