Thanks Calvin,
That was easy enough ;-) Another strange thing for you, this seems to
have been corrected in the qpopper port.
/usr/ports/mail/qpopper/files/extra-patch-password::poppassd.c
static char *P4[] =
{
+ "passwd: updating the database...\npasswd: done ", /* FreeBSD */
+ "nis password has been changed * ", /* FreeBSD NIS */
"password changed. ", /* shadow */
"password changed ", /* smb */
""
Good day,
