Thanks for your advice.

Download "change_pass-2.7a-1.4.x.tar.gz" on /home/satimis


Run;

$ tar zxf change_pass-2.7a-1.4.x.tar.gz on /home/satimis


I'm thinking where shall I keep the decompressed tarball;

$ ls -l /usr/local/squirrelmail/
total 12
drwx-wx---  2 root nogroup 4096 2007-12-03 23:49 data
drwx-wx---  2 root nogroup 4096 2007-12-03 23:49 temp
drwxr-xr-x 16 root root    4096 2007-11-23 11:55 www


If keeping it on /usr/local/squirrelmail/temp I have to change its
permission same as "www" otherwise the plugin can't work or keeping it
on the same directory /usr/local/squirrel/www
???  Please advise.  TIA


On README it says "This is a Squirrelmail plugin to change password
using the Poppassd service at port 106

You can get poppassd compliant services from the following:
.....
Courier users should try courierpassd at
http://www.arda.homeunix.net/store/


I'm running courier-imap

$ apt-cache policy courier-imap
courier-imap:
  Installed: 4.1.1.20060828-5ubuntu1
  Candidate: 4.1.1.20060828-5ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 4.1.1.20060828-5ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com feisty/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
* end *


I suppose I need to download following 4 packages on above site:-
courierpassd-1.1.2.tar.gz
courierpasswd-1.1.2.tar.gz
courieruserinfo-1.1.2.tar.gz
tofmipd-daemon.patch


If I'm wrong, please correct me.  TIA
