Like any other piece of software (and information generally),
checkpassword comes with NO WARRANTY.


Things you have to decide before starting:

* The checkpassword home directory, normally /. To change this
directory, edit conf-home now.


How to install:

 1. Compile the programs and create the formatted man pages:
       % make

 2. Install the programs and man pages:
       # make setup check


How to test (if you have qmail installed):

 3. Simulate a failed POP login:
       # /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup host /bin/checkpassword pwd
       +OK <...@host>
       user Frodo
       +OK
       pass Friend
       -ERR authorization failed

 4. Simulate a successful POP login, using a correct account name and
    password instead of Frodo and Friend. You should see the account's
    home directory.

 5. Simulate a successful POP login again, with id instead of pwd. You
    should see the account's uid and gid.


That's it! To report success:
       % ( echo 'First M. Last'; cat `cat SYSDEPS` ) | mail djb-qst@cr.yp.to
Replace First M. Last with your name.
