If you want to know it better, check out http://www.squirrelmail.org/. Some other nice alternatives include Roundcube (http://roundcube.net) and Zimbra (http://bliki.rimuhosting.com/space/knowledgebase/linux/miscapplications/zimbra). 1.1 change_pass plugin on RPM-based distros Some steps David and I have followed in previous installs: I downloaded change_pass from: http://www.squirrelmail.org/plugin_download.php?id=21 I unzipped it into the squirrelmail plugins directory and then ran conf.pl to perform the configuration settings and enable the plugin." Here is the output showing that it is now installed: {code:none} Installed Plugins 1. delete_move_next 2. squirrelspell 3. newmail 4. change_pass {code} Then I used the "cimplus_lal" user you informed below and I confirmed that a "Change password" link now appears in the "Options" page. But when trying to change the password, I got the following error at Squirrelmail: {code:none} ERROR:Connection refused (111) {code} Reading the change_pass plugin documentation, I found out that I had to install a poppassd service. I download a poppasswd compliant service that supports PAM referenced here: http://freshmeat.net/projects/poppassd-ceti/ I used this RPM file: http://freshmeat.net/redir/poppassd-ceti/22599/url_rpm/poppassd-ceti-1.8.5-co4.i386.rpm I enabled this service at xinetd, by changing the "disabled" parameter from "yes" to "no" in /etc/xinetd.d/poppassd. Then I started and enabled xinetd on boot up: # /etc/init.d/xinetd start # chkconfig xinetd on 2007-05-29 11:02:24.0 2007-05-29 10:59:52.0
