cvm-checkpassword(8)

👑 cvm-checkpassword 👑

okay bestie, gather round 💖 this is a page from the System Manager's Manual, and it's all about cvm-checkpassword — the lil bridge that lets your CVM modules speak checkpassword. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

cvm-checkpassword — checkpassword interface for CVM modules

like, that's the whole vibe. it's the checkpassword-shaped doorway into CVM land 🚪🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

cvm-checkpassword CVM Command [ arguments ...  ]

so you run it, you hand it a CVM Command, and then whatever arguments ... that command wants. periodt 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

first things first, the receipts 📜 — go read these, they explain both interfaces in full detail:

http://untroubled.org/cvm/cvm.html

fr fr, see the above links for details on both the CVM and checkpassword interfaces. that's where the real lore lives 👑

now, if you wanna use this interface with qmail-pop3d(8), this is the exact command line you'd use:

/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \
cvm-checkpassword cvm-unix \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d ./Maildir/

literally copy-paste core 🫶

⚠️ Note, bestie, listen up: the default mode of operations for this module is to attempt to split a domain name from the account name. if that is not what you want, set $CVM_ACCOUNT_SPLIT_CHARS to an empty string. don't skip this one, it's giving surprise-behavior energy 💀
