The qpasswd tools are meant for use with checkpassword-compatible authentication programs like qmail-popup and qmail-smtpd. Currently, the following auth mechanisms are supported: plain, login, apop, cram-md5, cram-sha1, cram-ripemd, and digest-md5. The tools: - multicheckpw (runs multiple checkpassword programs) - checkqpasswd (for virtual users) - checkpasswd (for system users in /etc/passwd)
