How do I use Qpopper with PAM?

PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules), is an authentication framework available on Linux and some versions of Unix (such as Solaris and HP-UX). To use PAM, add the –with-pam=service-name flag when running ./configure. If you omit service-name it defaults to pop3. You must then create a file in the directory /etc/pam.d with the same name as specified for service-name, for example, /etc/pam.d/pop3. This file contains the rules for authenticating using Qpopper. See your PAM documentation for more details. An example of such a file is: [admin@mailhost qpopper3.1]$ cat /etc/pam.d/pop3 #%PAM-1.0 auth required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow account required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so password required /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so password required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so nullok use_authtok md5 shadow session required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.
