+ <longdescription>
+ Provides a daemon for changing passwords over the network. This feature
+ is commonly used for TCP loopback password changing from web scripting
+ languages such as Perl and PHP, removing the requirement for setuid perl
+ scipts or running a web server process as root. This version of poppassd
+ has PAM support, and also optional support for cracklib enforcing the use
+ of strong passwords. Note that the protocol is plain text and so insecure
+ for all but loopback use.
