I just did it for my computing society. Simply check it in pop_pass.c and give a POP_FAILURE. But I feel a bit funny about it. When I had a machine with pop-accounts, I could imagine WANTING to give ppl a non-existant shell, so they can only access mail. Another thing I am going to do tomorrow or something is changing it so it won't give an error when the blocked user is connecting. It would be even better if it would standard generate a mailbox containing of only 1 message telling that the *()^^&* user is blocked and should take some serious action in stead of trying to read mail > > -Guido > Mark
