NAME

  popcv - Migrate passwords from the /var/spool/pop/POP file to the mailauth
  database


SYNOPSIS

  /usr/bin/popcv [location]


DESCRIPTION

  The popcv utility gives system administrators the ability to migrate
  passwords from the /var/spool/pop/POP file to the mailauth database. Once
  the passwords are in the mailauth database, use the mailauth utility to
  administer the database.

  Use the location parameter to provide the full PATH for the POP file. If
  the location parameter is not specified, a check is made in the /etc/passwd
  file for a pop entry. If an entry exists and if a POP file is found in the
  $HOME directory for the pop user, then that file is used. If no file is
  found, the default location of /var/spool/pop is checked.

  When the POP file is found, the passwords are migrated to the mailauth
  database as POP passwords. If the mailauth database has not been
  initialized or converted from previous versions, the system administrator
  is prompted to use the mailauth utility.
