    Hi falko,

    It was NOT there. Previously I made a mistake.

    I got it done now. I should save the tarball on /usr/share/squirrelmail/plugins/
    untar there. Then followed the document "INSTALL". to install/config it. It is working now. But still I can't change password, new password not working. No complaint on changing password.

    poppassd has been installed. Also ran "/etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd restart"

    # nmap localhost
    Code:
    Starting Nmap 5.00 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2012-03-14 01:22 HKT
    Interesting ports on localhost (127.0.0.1):
    Not shown: 992 closed ports
    PORT      STATE SERVICE
    22/tcp    open  ssh
    25/tcp    open  smtp
    80/tcp    open  http
    106/tcp   open  pop3pw
    110/tcp   open  pop3
    111/tcp   open  rpcbind
    143/tcp   open  imap
    10025/tcp open  unknown
    
    Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.13 seconds
    
    # cat /etc/pam.d/poppassd
    Code:
    #
    # The PAM configuration file for the `poppassd' daemon
    #
    
    @include common-auth
    @include common-password
    
    Only 2 lines there.

    Pls help. TIA


    Edit:

    I think the ownership problem.

    # ls -ld /usr/share/squirrelmail/plugins/change_pass
    Code:
    drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Mar 14 00:09 /usr/share/squirrelmail/plugins/change_pass
    
    Run:
    Code:
    # chown -R root.vmail /change_pass
    
    ?
