To add some extra info here.

DJB's pages at http://cr.yp.to/checkpwd.html offer no help in
troubleshooting at all.

Q-Card pages at http://www.kitabjian.com/dave/qmailhelp/#Retrieving do not
refer to the standard DJB's checkpassword; this proves even more frustrating
when you run off to check dead-ends like /var/qmail/users/popasswd which
don't apply to DJB's standard checkpassword utility because that just reads
directly from /etc/passwd.

Anyway, as I've clarified, I'm using DJB's checkpassword from
http://cr.yp.to/checkpwd.html and I have tried several leads and still can't
find any solutions. I can't even find log entries for failed logging
attempts.

Anyone, please, someone must have gotten this working... :(

Thanks,
