It's not the traditional 'shadow' file (it's called 'master.passwd'), but YES, encrypted passwords are not included in the publicly accessible '/etc/passwd' file (which I assume is your concern). > Do you ship a popper which can use those shadow passwords ? No POP servers are included in the standard distribution of FreeBSD. However, there are a number of them in the ports collection which come with the 4 CDROM set (but I do not believe the ports come with the Cheapbytes CD). Latest versions of the ports are always available for free download via the Internet. > Does Qpopper compile out of the box to use those shadow passwords ? If you build them from the ports collection, they will. HTH. -- Crist J.
