NAME

       pop_auth - set an user’s APOP secret

SYNOPSIS

       pop_auth [-a] [! | name ...]

DESCRIPTION

       Pop_auth  asks  user  for  his APOP secret and stores this secret after
       encryption in ~/.spop3d file. Used encryption is very weak and protects
       only  from  curious  system  administrator  who  accidentialy  looks at
       ~/.spop3d file.  Don’t use your account password as the APOP  secret!!!

       Pop_auth  will  set APOP secret for all maildrop names specified in the
       command line.  You can use the special ! name to specifiy your  default
       maildrop.   If  called  without  any  arguments, pop_auth will set APOP
       secret for the default maildrop.

OPTIONS

       -a     Set the same APOP secret for all maildrops definied in ~/.spop3d

FILES

       ~/.spop3d
              User configuration file. APOP secret is written here.
