HISTORY
poppwd was written in response to a spate of error reports about pty handling in poppassd(8). It looked easier to re-engineer than work out what was wrong with poppassd(8). poppwd was developed under MacOS X and FreeBSD.

DIAGNOSTICS
Errors are logged to syslog(8) using the auth facility.

BUGS
See the accompanying README file.
