SUMMARY: poppassd and solaris 9

Well, I only got one response for this question, which was to make sure that
poppassd was suid root.  The poppassd on the old system was not suid root
but worked, and setting the new one suid did not even change the error
message.

After many hours of code hacking and recompiling, I finally did fix it.  For
anyone using poppassd with Solaris 9, make sure the P1 part looks like this
(don't forget the space after the colon):

static char *P1[] =
   {
     "changing password for *\nold password: ",  /* shadow */
     "enter login password: ",                   /* Solaris */
     "old smb password: ",                       /* smb */
     "enter existing login password: ",	/* For Solaris 9 */
     ""
   };
