POP3 server

[Mark R. Myers]

When I compiled qpopper, I did a straight ./configure  I did not add any
special tags or commands for anything else.
When I telnet into port 110, and type
user mmyers
It says that a password is needed for mmyers
when I type
pass garble (ficticious)
It tells me that the password is incorrect, even though "garble" is my
password on the system.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Mark
