Subject: HPUX and POP server qpopper 2.1.4 - Password Resolution problem

Ok, I admit it, we have a horrible C compiler at our site and it barely
makes it through the simplest makefile.  But hey, if we were able to build
pine and get it to work, we should be able to get qpopper 2.1.4 to work as
well, right?

We have HPUX 10.01 running on our site on an HP9000 series K100 unit, and
we have succeeded in building qpopper 2.1.4 without any obvious errors, but
when we try to log into the POP server, the system HANGS at the moment of
password resolution.

Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening?

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

Note that the new qpopper 2.2-b5 contains the correct code for the secure
password file on HPUX-10. Just set -DAUTH and -lsec.
