Hi all,
On my 2.0.5-RELEASE system I've installed the qpop package and am having 
trouble.  When I try to connect from Eudora (Win version 1.4.4) I always 
am told that my password is wrong.  I know that there is nothing wrong 
on the Eudora side because I have no problem connecting to an AIX box 
running a much older version of popper.

I KNOW some of you folks out there must be using popper.  What'd you do to get 
it to work?  Someone suggested that there may be some relation between the 
presence or lack there-of of DES on my system having an affect on poppers 
functioning.  Should it?

Here's the debug output from a failed session:

  Aug  4 10:57:58 itsdsv1 -d[1776]: (v2.1.4-R3) Servicing request from 
  "itsdpc2.enc.edu" at 199.93.252.238
  Aug  4 10:57:58 itsdsv1 -d[1776]: -ERR Password supplied for "owensc" is 
  incorrect.
  Aug  4 10:57:58 itsdsv1 -d[1776]: (v2.1.4-R3) Ending request from 
  "owensc" at (itsdpc2.enc.edu) 199.93.252.238

Any idea what's wrong?
Thanks,

---
