[tpop3d-discuss] Logging bad passwords

To provide our technical support personnel with more debugging information, I 
was asked to log bad username/password connections for POP connections.  
Looking at 1.4.2 source, I didn't see a way to do this that was already done.  
- From what I can tell, the CVS head doesn't have this capability/feature at 
the moment either.

I decided to jump into the source and come up with a solution.  Attached is a 
patch against the 1.4.2 source.  Applying this patch should (will) not affect 
anything.  To enable the logging, the config option 'log-auth-badpass' must 
be set to yes|true.

I have tested this with the auth-pam and auth-mysql modules, but it should 
work for all of them.  Is this useful for anyone, or just me?  I can come up 
with a patch for the CVS head if it's desired.

Comments/questions welcome.

Enjoy,
Kevin Bonner
