13 Provides a daemon for changing passwords over the network. This feature
14 is commonly used for TCP loopback password changing from web scripting
15 languages such as Perl and PHP, removing the requirement for setuid perl
16 scipts or running a web server process as root. This version of poppassd
17 has PAM support, and also optional support for cracklib enforcing the use
18 of strong passwords. Note that the protocol is plain text and so insecure
19 for all but loopback use.
