10.3: Make your password more secure
Authored by: mike3k on Nov 16, '03 11:30:23AM

This has the disadvantage of making imapd unable to authenticate. I installed UW imapd according to an earlier hint, but since I'm only using it to archive my mail locally rather than allowing remote imap logins, I enabled password logins so I can use it easily from mail.app or Eudora.

When my password got changed from basic to shadow hash, I could no longer login to imapd until I changed it back and entered the old-style hash.
