popcv(8)popcv(8)NAMEpopcv - Migrate passwords from the /var/spool/pop/POP file to the
mailauth database
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/popcv [location]
DESCRIPTION
The popcv utility gives system administrators the ability to migrate
passwords from the /var/spool/pop/POP file to the mailauth database.
Once the passwords are in the mailauth database, use the mailauth util‐
ity to administer the database.
Use the location parameter to provide the full PATH for the POP file.
If the location parameter is not specified, a check is made in the
/etc/passwd file for a pop entry. If an entry exists and if a POP file
is found in the $HOME directory for the pop user, then that file is
used. If no file is found, the default location of /var/spool/pop is
checked.
When the POP file is found, the passwords are migrated to the mailauth
database as POP passwords. If the mailauth database has not been ini‐
tialized or converted from previous versions, the system administrator
is prompted to use the mailauth utility.
