Ok guys and gals, When/if you download one of the 2 scripts I posted, please verify that you have inetd.conf (or alternative) configured correctly to listen on port 106 and run poppassd for any incoming connections. I can't/won't help with the perl script, but if the PHP script says "Connection Refused," you can damned well bet that the script is crapping out because nothing's listening to port 106 on the specified server (localhost by default). Enjoy, -Troy ** -----Original Message----- ** From: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG ** [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Troy Settle ** Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2000 8:46 AM ** To: heckfordj@psi-domain.co.uk; Daniel ** Cc: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org ** Subject: RE: Change password via web ** ** ** ** Install poppassd from /usr/ports/mail/poppassd ** ** Then grab one of my scripts: ** ** http://home.psknet.com/troy/passwd.php.txt ** http://home.psknet.com/troy/passwd.pl.txt ** ** The PHP script is self contained.
